1/48 Tamiya A6M5c Zero

--------------------

 

I present the Mitsubishi A6M2c Tamiya's "Zero", this one is a model that I enjoyed building.

This is an "end of the war" scheme, in which the planes were in terrible condition due to little maintenance before returning to combat.

To simulate the first wear of the painting I painted the model with a layer of silver, later I applied a layer of future and a layer of base paint.

After it dried, I simply removed the paint with 3M tape, leaving the silver paint of the first layer.

The Hinomarus are painted with masks and weathered later with the same procedure used for the rest of the paint scheme.

I want to dedicate this model to my friends of the forums of: www.maquetasdeaviones.tk and Aeronet

Thank you.
