because it is done...in more ways than one. I have two or three others in the kit-locker. May do that on those now that I know what to expect.Stikpusher wrote:Why not look for an AM decal set for your Zero?

Re: 1/48 Tamiya Zero A6M5c - DONE,
Calling this one toast. Put a fork in it. I liked a lot on this kit and a few things I didn't..nothing major. Same with the work I did. Had a lot of trouble with paint, masking and decals. Not sure why, but it was eventually good enough for me.

Looks like a Zero to me! Nice work Lyle!

Re: 1/48 Tamiya Zero A6M5c
Right on Lyle! Another one for the shelves. I think I have this kit or maybe the 5a in the stash.
Thanks,

Thanks. I have a couple more of these. Not sure why, but I do. May tackle another.
