Finally the last pieces of the Zero was attached, aka the pitot tube and the antenna wire.

Funny, there is no mentioning at all in Eduards instructions regarding the antenna wire, not even visible in any drawings. I had to double-check if the A6M2 type 21 had a classic antenna wire of not. And yes, it had.

This is a wonderful kit. It really is.

I'm extremely happy of this build but also of all the help and support I got from you guys during these few weeks.
Including an interesting side-track subject regarding "Eduards new" decals.

But now it's done and yes, I'm a little bit proud of the build. But I guess, that's ok, I can be that for once. :cool:

So here she is, Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero in 1/48 by Eduard:

Many thanks to Bruce aka Speedgraflex fixing the pictures to a more representative look
