Sticking to the Japanese theme, this was staring at me from my stash, begging to be build 🙂
Being a Meng kit, this will be a treat after the AZ kikka....

Ah very cool Jan is infected with the Nippon What If Virus...🙂
Well done and great progress so far Mate 👍

Jan Peters Autor
Thanks Daniel.
I was infected a while ago, seems the incubation time is over now 🙂

Daniel Klink
You got a Reppu or Keiun in your stash?
perhaps an idea for a mini gb in the future 🙂

Jan Peters Autor
No, I have not, I do have a zero, Ki98 and a shiden though.... Zero Group build would be Nice

Always wanted to take a hand on the A6M8 by Hasegawa that sleeps in my stash for nearly 20 years now.

Very nice progress Jan 👍
Did I just hear Zero GB?! 🙂 I'm in!

@Daniel: Is that the A6M8 with resin cowling and so on? I use to have one but ended p using it for spares since I was not impressed with the quality of the resin parts. A couple of years back Hasegawa issued another A6M8 in all plastic (kit no. 09821) You can still pick one up for under 25,-€. Worth having a look 😉

I have a 1:72 hasegawa A6M3 in my stash, was just about to start on a Hurricane, but like the thought of a zero gb......

Hi Sebastian,. Yes the Resin Cast is the reason why the kit is still in its box🙂
But 1/48 is not my scale sorry

Daniel I have the utmost respect for you '1:72 people' 👍 I'm currently working on Arma's Yak-1 in said scale....boy I couldn't do that kind of tiny stuff all the time 😛
