Airfix 1/72 Mitsubishi a6m2-b WIP

[Cybergrinder]

Amazing, I built this years ago (when I was 18, or there abouts). There is no way I could have imagined such a fantastic upgrade to the airfix kit!

Well I'm starting to think I have some serious modeling urges control issues.
Here go flaps. I had to use little bit of green stuff as I made little dents by my poor dremel control :/ I hope it will turn out nice.
Ribs are made out of printer paper strips

WOW Thread hits 500 views I consider this score as little success in "Plastic" discipline Thank You Guys for support Now I'm getting back to masking canopy

Some forums that do paper models don't allow plastic. To me, there is much that can be learned, as the painting, and Greeblin" is the same. We aren't paper purists here either, though I admire people who can pull that off, but that involves using water to mold the paper and real fabrication. That is not seen to much these days. People just want to build what's on the .pdf, and never consider the realism that painting can bring to a model. There is much that is to be learned from this thread. That's why you get the hits, good thread equals lots of hits.

Good thread with top notch model building, regardless of the medium... The work your doing with copper wire and bits of plastic, to add to the model are, to quote my hero, "Most Impressive"

 

[JanMarciniak]

I have no idea what model will be next but I'm sure I'll start new build in week or two
