Here is another one
of my Japanese WWII aircraft subjects. A Tamiya 1/48 A6M3 Zero Model
32 "Hamp" modeled to represent the aircraft of PO2 Kenji Yanagiya
during the ill-fated Yamamoto escort mission on April 18, 1943. The
aircraft was based in Buin (Kahili) Airfield at Bougainville Island.

Built straight OOB and used
Gunze Mr. Color paints airbrushing them free hand. Since this was an
old kit, I went to my spare decal box for the hinomaru and tail numbers.
Despite being an old
kit with some raised panels, I was pleased with the overall fit and detail
Cheers,
Tony Feredo
