I have several more in my stash to build… Ki-45 Nick, Ki-51 Sonia, E-13 Jake… plus a couple of ships. I do enjoy the Japanese subjects.

The Sonia is on my wish list. I've always been drawn to the boxart and the blue scheme.

.... and I just bought one on ebay for a decent price.

That blue one is eye catching…

But I’d love to find a scheme and markings used in the Philippines in the ‘41-‘42 campaign for mine.

I need to do more WW2 Japanese aircrafts

Never done a Zero fighter in all my 50 plus years in this hobby.

I like that box art Carlos, but alas, you have shamed me for not entering this GB yet

There must be an applicable Start Trek meme or two for this.. "Time is a luxury you don't have (what rhymes with admiral)" or "I give 60 seconds for you and your gallant sprues"

None the less, I Will be looking forward to seeing what you do with this one!

How can you have never built a Zero as well? That’s one of the iconic top 4 WWII fighters… Mustang, Spitfire, Me-109, and Zero

Stay tuned for more on this one Chris. I want to get some basic interior painting done soon on this baby.
