Björn Svedberg AuthorI've started building of Tamiyas A6M2 Zero (Zeke). It is a very simple kit, so it shouldn't take alot of time to finish.😉

Björn Svedberg AuthorTodays work was getting everything ready for weathering. Closing in on the finish line with the Zero.😉

Björn Svedberg AuthorLol! Well this is my second zero, so I guess I'm a double 0..😉

Björn Svedberg AuthorThanks Sören and James! 🙂

Björn Svedberg AuthorWell, I'm really excited about japanese planes at the moment, and I just ordered the Oscar, so I think that might be the one..

Soeren R.Good, because that was the one I would have suggested😉
The Hasegawa or the FineMiolds kit?

JensHello Björn as you know a very convincing model, perfectly built and painted 👍 👍 👍

Soeren R.Its a really nice kit - like the B5N - so I take a wild guess and say that you will have a lot of fun with her😉

Björn Svedberg AuthorThank you Jens! 🙂 But not perfect.., I forgot to paint the back side of the propeller matt black to prevent glare. I will have to fix that eventually.
@Sören I hope I will 🙂

Tim HeimerMaybe someone can answer this: Since they were making planes out of wood due to a shortage of metal, wouldn't their props be made of wood also? Looks good Bjorn, Nice work!

Björn Svedberg AuthorThank you Timothy and Clifford! 🙂
I'm sorry Timothy, but I have no answer to your question.

SpanjaardHI Björn, may i ask something? did you add all the riveting manually? or did you use some riveting decals? it looks quite good.

Björn Svedberg AuthorHi Spanjaard, I used one of those riveting tools with a wheel with pointy edges on it.

Spanjaardi guess you also had a good blueprint or something, is something you can share?

Björn Svedberg AuthorThank you mates!
It's been a while since I built a zero and I still have the A6M5 left to build, so there will be more to come.
