    It’s nice to see Japanese aircraft getting some attention from the manufacturers

      You are right, Icm have a nice 72nd scale kit now... About this Zero, please note that many parts are not glued in place, like canopy parts, no figure, antenna isn't glued in the correct angle because it's connected to clear parts etc. Just in place for ez line, test build, very nice kit and easy assembly. I don't have Eduard kit in my stash for comparison. Just wonderful Tamiya kits in 32nd scale and one Hasegawa 52 also in 32nd. the best! D.

      Yes it is..I’m a big Japanese WW2 aircraft fan and waiting for the new ICM Sally in 1/48..Hope more model manufactures see there’s a big gap in 48th for Japanese aircraft..My dream is to see a jake in 48th as well as many more.!

      All well and good, but it seems that the majority of the new releases are leaning heavily towards A6Ms. Ki-43s, Ki-44s, Ki-61s (yes, I know the 1/48 TMIYA Ki-61 IS a MASTERPIECE) and Ki-84s, (among quite a few others), seemed to have a little something to do with the Japanese Army during WWII. On a personal note, I'd like to see more 1/48 Japanese BOMBERS... Thanks for reading...

    The Eduard kit might be better, but it's almost twice the price (according to Amazon). So I'd be perfectly happy with this kit. Excellent detail, and you did a great job!

    Have you ever assembled semi trucks? Or mostly airplanes?
    I really enjoy your videos and all the cool tricks and tips that I'm noticing and learning.

    Your relaxing quick build looks like what many of your viewers aspire to create - beautifully done without a lot of unnecessary complication.
    The kit looks very much like many recent Academy releases - unfussy build, nicely detailed, but maybe overdoing it a bit with the rivets and fabric surfaces. I’d love to see a three-way comparison with the Eduard and the old standard Hasegawa. It’s a shame Tamiya never re-tooled their ancient A6M2, or that would be an even harder choice!

    Looks like a great kit, I’m happy we have more Japanese airplane kits being released. But for the painting guide, I would use the Eduard colour callouts over Academy’s (Ie gear bay should be the olive grey of the rest of the plane and not aotake). And the installation of the gear legs is pretty clever

    • @patrickhermogenes3753
      @patrickhermogenes3753 2 роки тому +1

      If you're building a scheme for a Mitsubishi-built plane, then yes, the gear bays are gray. If Nakajima-built, aotake is correct

    • @vmoney9106
      @vmoney9106 2 роки тому +1

      Yes but this is a Mitsubishi built Zero, so that’s why I didn’t go into a whole essay on the different paint idiosyncrasies (I’ve had to do that way too much with the latest wave of people building the Eduard Zero)

    • @thekinksfan5102
      @thekinksfan5102 2 роки тому

      Truly positive location for the landing gear, that's outstanding. It was really a PITA in the Eduard kit, only negative during the build. Eduard should step up their game in this department. Vague landing gear attachments are something that you'd expect from short run kits, not from state of the art kits.

    • @ScaleModelAircraft
      @ScaleModelAircraft  Рік тому

      Thanks for your kind words, I really can't tell you exactly what air pressure I am using. My gauge is broken, but anyway, I can't see it. I regulate the a.pressure mostly by sound. On mac valve , approximately you can use for 50/50 mix 1.3b and for highly thinned paint, camouflage effect etc. Use approximately 0.9b sometimes, even less. I know that this won't be exactly the answer, but try and see what suits you best! Again, thanks, and all the best!

    This is quite possibly the worst model kit I've built for a "modern" kit. The fit is questionable. The instructions have several mistakes. The details are soft and the decals are...meh... I got suckered in to buying it because of the canopy mask. No excuses.
