It was time after all that Swallow and Luftwaffe stuff to do a dark green Hinomaru carrier again!.
Started with the cockpit, and the parts are crisp and clean...

Hi and welcome Gentlemen..👍 Thank you all for your interest.
@Andy, the detail of the Tamiya is a miles ahead... really
@Roland.. Thank you and happy to see you here 👍
@Jan Welcome and yap indeed there is not much room for aftermarket..
Good Job by Tamiya.
@James welcome Sir and hope you will like the progress.
@Stefan The one in the office is still free 🙂
11 May 2021, 18:26
Daniel Klink
This really looks like one of the quickest builds ever for me🙂
11 May 2021, 21:10
Greg Baker
Tried to sneak this by me... well it didn't work. I'm in.
12 May 2021, 06:51
Andy Ball
if Tamiya can't do the 'reference' Zero in '72nd....there's no hope for anyone else!
12 May 2021, 07:33
Daniel Klink
Welcome Greg glad curiosity won?
@andy yes though the tool is not brandnew but the details and fit is still just exvellent
12 May 2021, 11:49
Alec K
I'll take a seat for this. Have in my stash as well and the detail looks great. Your cockpit confirms it 👍

Peppy
Yep, love me some A6M.
Been curious about the 1/72 kit.

Alex Rodionov
?
Interior- cool.
But rear decking beneath the canopy was the same of the cowling :blue-black.
13 May 2021, 04:38
Petr Lehnert
Another group build? I haven't finished my Schwalbe yet. Watching with envy.
13 May 2021, 09:51
Daniel Klink
Welcome Alec, Dave, CDP, Alex and Petr take your seats 👍
@Alec this is just pure joy and you can make much more of it.
@Alex guess you are right but i will follow the restored Movie version in the kits manual and apply a very thin coat of Interior green over the Aotake.
@Petr i also joined late here..No need to hurry. Your swallow progress is 👍👍👍

Nice progress so far - Tamiyas Zeros in 72nd Scale are really the most beautiful enginerred models i know! The first time i built one i had to bow in awe 🙂
13 May 2021, 13:45
Daniel Klink
Indeed Markus great kit and thank you mate..
Hm somehow i miss the Eduard mask for this one..
Short delay until the order arrives... dammit 🙂
13 May 2021, 13:46
Markus Antonius
yes, eduard mask is essential for it 🙂
13 May 2021, 16:09
Daniel Klink
I confused it with the eduard Etching part set.
I thought i do not own this but the masks..Now i got this etching part set and the cockpit and stuff is ready and waiting for the canopy mask.
Once you tun 50...it is getting worse 🙂
13 May 2021, 16:11
Daniel Klink
Still waiting for the mask !
Livery was stated within 3-5 days grhmpf

Daniel Klink
Hi mate and thank you... Yap full capacity...🙂
31 May 2021, 19:33
Daniel Klink
The white Wingtips are especially used for the movie aircraft.
And is not historically correct in my opinion.
31 May 2021, 20:08
James C
I missed this one. Nice work so far. I'm not familiar with the movie though 👍
31 May 2021, 20:21
Daniel Klink
Hi James welcome mate..
Äh imo the movie itself (storyline etc) is not really a big miss, but the 1:1 models they built for it in 2012 and 2013 and the special effects are awesome.

2 June 2021, 18:06
Clifford Keesler
Looking very nice Daniel. I am amazed at the detail you and others turn out in 1/72 and 1/144 scales. I have a hard enough time with 1/48. LOL.
2 June 2021, 22:07
Daniel Klink
Thank you Cuajete, James, Jan, Mirko, White Glint and Clifford for your nice words!
Kudos goes fully to Tamiya.. The grade of detail is really amazing in this scale 👍

Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Roberto and Clifford, cool you like it so far.
Just a bit of scraping and weathering left to do and of course the wing weapons, the pitot tube and the antenna wire left to be added.

@Marco yes it is handpainted with Gunze Mr. color inetrior colors. Smelling like hell but are absolutely brillant to work with for small areas.

Hi Daniel, well done 👍 Is the pilot from Red Box? Cheers Stefan
10 June 2021, 09:16
Cuajete
Very nice presentation and fantastic result, Daniel. Congrats!

I thought pilot came from this Hasegawa's kit:
scalemates.com/kits/..t-figure-set--158976

Maybe came from this Red Box set?

10 June 2021, 17:17
Daniel Klink
Thank you Cuajete and Stefan, your warm and nice comments are always very much appreciated mates👍
@Cuajete. it is from the Hasegawa offering indeed.
10 June 2021, 18:45
Daniel Klink
Hm those displays are realky nicely done, but difficult to picture them!
They are not really matt and are looking a bit too much like a photo!
25 August 2021, 17:16
bughunter
... but you should try to keep the focus point on the aircraft, then this will be sharp and the background is a bit blurred and not so prominent.
25 August 2021, 17:33
Daniel Klink
Ah yes, that works better... Thank you Frank 👍
25 August 2021, 18:17
Clifford Keesler
That is just awesome sir. Well done.
26 August 2021, 21:08
Peter Hardy
A Zero in Gona, New Guinea! Great shot Daniel! There was a huge battle near there in the Bismarck Sea. US and Australian Air Forces destroyed a Japanese invasion force at sea. The loss of young Japanese youth was horrific. Exceptional work on a classic legendary aircraft Daniel. Kudos Mate. Just brilliant!

I have to agree, this is very nice work and the finish is wonderful. I do like the presentation on the landing pad. How did you make the base for such a great model?

Daniel Klink
Hi Rui, thank you mate your words are much appreciated👍
@lukasz yep they are exactly Din a4 and more than mediocre a single engine fighter does not fit!
