Built OOB, this was a quick and easy build for my IPMS club's theme of the month. This month: on the water.

While lacking detail by today's standard, this 80's kit fit very well and went together in only an evening. Acrylic MM paint dressed her up, and while I tried to get a faded effect on the panels, I think I need a bit more practice

as always comments welcome!!

Great work there Owl. But the floatplane variant of the Zero was a "Rufe", not a "Zeke"

Well, you just gave me a good idea for "Weekend Madness" this year if it happens.

I have that one in the stash in the motorised version. I hope it come out just as good as yours although I doubt I will finish it that quick.

I was worried that the wash was too stark in comparison to the light colored paint
