I love your A6M3 model 32 Zeke and your A6M2 model 21 Zero and want to flame em both with some incendiary bullets fired from my Wildcat near Guadalcanal... :wub:

Very nice depiction of one of the most difficult schemes to pull off: "Ameiro" varnished IJN aircraft...looks spot-on to me!!! WOW! :yikes:

Which is your favorite?

Thanks you!

I dig the clipped wings...just because it differs from the typical rounded wings that EVERY Jap plane has....but I'm really pleased with the "caramely" finish on the other. They are both my children, and I love them equally!!!!

Splendid job Fermis.
It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.
