My version of the Eduard Zero!

A very nice kit! Only a few issues where surface details like rivets were missing and had to be reapplied. Really happy with the shading on this one! Only thing to change is to maybe use a more white main color or to prime it white instead of black.

I may actually build another Zero in the future, since I liked this kit so much! Saw some very nicely weathered green Zeroes!

Near the end I had a major accident where I dropped an entire bottle of Tamiya paint (closed thankfully) on the plane. It cracked the wing and the entire length of the bottom of the tail.

I patched it the best I could, but to really fix it I have to sand it all back and build up the paint. If I had to do that it would have killed all motivation, so I chose to live with a less than perfect underside.

I mainly use Instagram for my models, so there is a bit more info and updates there. However I will update my projects here from time to time!
