Airfix 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M Zero

[SigEp Ziggy]

I have eight builds in the works simultaneously, so here is one of them.

 

 

I received the paints I ordered from Micromark.

 

 

 

I cleaned the parts.

I love these Pacific campaign aircraft so I'll get my seat now while there's  room!!

.......don't think I've ever built a Zero.   this should be interesting

Building a Zero, there's nothing to it! 🙂

Thank for the comments guys.  I am trying to come up with a plan to add rivets.  I think I will prime first, then rivet and then paint.  Wish me luck!

Experimenting with the pounce wheel.

How do you keep everything organized? I tend to lose small parts when I am working multiple kits.

I can do even better. I can loose small, and even large parts even when working on one kit!

I lost a canopy once. Found it a year later in the face mask for my lathe hanging on the opposite wall from where I was working!!

Going to be a nice build.

Jo, so glad to hear from you, I warms my heart.

 

Ragove, it has been a challenge to keep my builds organized and keep my sanity!

 

The two big ones I keep in their boxes.  I only work on one at a time.

 

I have two with their own containers.

 

 

These three have their own drawers.

 

 

The last one has the top drawer of the tool storage three drawer container.

 

 

Oops, there are nine counting the little 105 Howitzer in the baggie at the top of this picture.
