Hello,
i build here for you a model airplane of the manufacturer TAMIYA. It is the kit 6427 from the year 1983. The kit also has the number 61027. It is a Mitsubishi A6M5c Zero Fighter "Zeke" in 1:48 scale.
For painting and airbrushing I use in this kit colors of the manufacturer AK Interactive. These are the "Real Colors" series.
For weathering, I use products from the "Abteilung 502".
The model was decorated with rivets. Everything was built "out of the box". Only the seat belts were purchased from Eduard.
I hope you enjoy watching. If you like the video, please subscribe to my channel and maybe a "Like".

Although I wouldn't do the 'silk purse from a sow's ear' thing myself preferring to buy a more contemporary tooling if I want the detail, nice work on a venerable kit which still scrubs up as instantantly recognisable on display in its warpaint. I've built its A6M2 Type 0 Model 21 and A6M3 Type 0 Model 32 siblings from 1973 and 1982, and both of them scrub up equally well, remarkable considering the original A6M2 mould the '82 A6M3 and '83 A6M5 are based on is 50 years old this year. Although I have numerous Hasegawa and Tamiya 1/48 and 1/32 kits of Zeros and most Japanese subjects, I love these classic Tamiya kits from the 1970s and early '80s. If kits in this scale and affordability as good as these had been around in my incipient modelling days I would have been in raptures.

Excellent work! I wish I could have your skills. I just re-started the hobby, after 30 years. So many choices and tools these days. Working on a Nakajima Frank 84, 1/48 scale from Tamiya. I am going slow and step by step. Videos like yours, certainly help a lot. Thank you! Keep the good work.

I think a grey background would be better, it's kinda glaring 👍👍👍 other than that, the videos are great, at least it’s not a powerpoint presentation

The Hinomaru markings should not be chipped. No matter how worn and beat up the planes got, the ground crews would always make sure the rising sun emblem was touched up.

Thanks for the tip. Can this be said in general or does it differ from case to case? Greetings

@@scalemodel-one if you’re modelling an abandoned plane left to rot after the war, then you can do whatever to them. There were probably some instances where things were so dire that the crews didn’t have time or paint to fix it up, but the Hinomaru was considered a sacred symbol of the nation and the emperor during WWII so that would be very uncommon at best. Thanks for responding, I apologise for criticising without also mentioning that you did an incredible job and I wish I had your skills.

Really nice work on that old kit! NOT a criticism but there is One small point for any Japanese Fighter or Bomber of WW2 vintage. That is that the Hinomaru (Rising Sun Emblem) were regarded as Sacred in Shinto religious belief and the Emperor was the living embodiment of Shinto. Thus the Hinomaru (As the Imperial symbol) were ALWAYS maintained in near perfect condition by the ground crews. In fact the groundcrews could be severely punished (ie : Beaten with Fists and Rods) if they allowed a plane's Hinomaru to appear to be less than perfect. The rest of the paintjob... the heck with that, but the Hinomaru must be perfect or as close to it as possible. The only excuse for allowing it to degrade was the partial or complete destruction of the Airframe.

Thanks for your comment. Another user told me the same thing. And I am happy to get good advice. The next "Japanese" will definitely get better Hinomaru. many greetings and thanks

In many ways I prefer some older kits. Pilot figures and wheels up are more important than $120 cockpit interior. Can,t have a dogfight with no pilot and wheels down.

@scalemodel-one 2 жыл бұрын

Yes I agree with that. Considering what can be seen of the cockpit, it probably makes more sense to invest in wheels, landing gear and flaps / pilot. But cockpit building is still fun.

@theblytonian3906 8 ай бұрын

I'm in your camp. Building plastic since I was seven when they came in 1/72 in hanger bags if you were flush with pocket money, 1/144 otherwise and a cockpit was a seat with a faceless blob before 1/48 became started to appear in the 1970s and take off in the '80s. Things have come a long way since. The good, the quality of IJM figurines in tooling of the last decade or so today. The bad, not every kit manufacturer includes them. And the bane of my modelling pleasure, the absence of display stands in kits since the internet anal 'experten' outfit have hijacked the dialogue where everything must be uber detail, open or hanging out.
