Go man go!! Gary S.

I decided to just do these two kits and to combine them into one thread to maeby simplify space. The Zero is a Mitsubishi built airframe and in not sure as to the color difference of the Nakajima ones as far as the cockpit and camo. On the Tony, the instructions say to paint it overall IJA Lt...

I'm going to hold the RS Tony in reserve for now. I would even be willing to offer up for a trade.Gary S.

Any offers before I decide to build it? Thanks. I think I fixed the warpage by gentle bending. This morning I looked over the parts and there's a lot of detail. Photo etch and white metal parts along with injected parts. I'm thinking of starting the Zero and only the Hasagawa Tony and leaving...

I don't think there was any absolute color for any of their cockpits. We are just going to have to SWAG it. So how many $ would that be? Gary S.

All of the position lights are painted and the rockets are attached. Gsry S.

The canopy mask are off and cleaned up. Considering what poor fit it started out with, I think it came out ok. Gary S.

The mask on the canopy was removed and required some clean up. Though adout drilling a hole in the canopy for the antenna wire but changed my mind. Who am I trying to impress anyway. My contest days are over and not all of my models have them either. Gary S.

Great stuff. The guy leaping over the log looks like my brother in law back in the 80's. Gary S.

Me too. They would have been much better suited. Gary S.

That's to keep it from flying off the stand. Gary S.

Yea, we did the same thing with our Cobras in Nam. We used Johnson floor paste wax to shine them up. Gary S.

Did a little more panel highlighting of the panel lines and used oils for the exhaust and engine stains. Gary S.
