A6M5 type 52 Zero

I keep making the mistake on these speed builds of picking older kits because I don't want to "rush a nice expensive kit" only to realize the nice expensive kit would have gone together a lot faster and ended up looking a lot nicer.

Anyway, I've managed to get all the parts glued on. Just a little more detail and touch up painting and I can wrap it up.

Looking awesome Dave, are you putting them on the shelf as individuals or are they going to be part of a diorama in the future, such as a carrier deck?

You can do it Dave!

Thanks Ian and Mike, James, no plans for a Dio at this point.

Thanks Pup. Thought I had lots of time but I have to make an unexpected trip tomorrow morning so I'm doing what I can tonight and hope to post pics shortly :frantic

As promised. Rushed job but I enjoyed it.

These look great Dave! Well done!

I understand your comment on the mistake of picking older kits on these speed builds. The few I have in the stash for these are mostly little problem kits too...
