Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
The Zeke is done... and the first complete build of 2024
Marking belonging to Lt. Commander Shigeru Itaya Agakl Aircraft Carrier Fighter Group; Hawaii, December 8th 1941
I used Vallejo Liquid Mask on the canopy. Am I happy with it? No. Disappointed actually. Didn't leave sharp corners after removing the mask film.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Nice work, Tom. Looks great!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
That looks excellent Tom!

Nice clean Zero Tom. As a Pearl Harbor Attack Zero should be. Those aircraft were quite new into service at that time.

Nice looking Zero Tom. Sorry to hear of your liquid mask issues. IMO, as it pertains to canopy masking, liquid mask is only for filling in the center portion of taped edges.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Yeah I gave up on liquid masks for canopies years ago... too many problems... especially once I started dipping canopies in Future.
