i thought i'd try a little weathering...so i dived into the stash and pulled out an old hasegawa A6M3.model 32..also known as a hamp.
so with a little preshading with tamiya black ink and useing the gunze IJNAF grey rather than the more correct xf76 tamiya colour i hoped to achieve a lightly weathered and faded look.
i think i did ok for a first time attempt
the head on is the new hamp and the finemolds A6M2 i built a couple of months ago...showing the difference in finish.....i'm pretty happy
and to prove i have a problem......5 zero's this year!!!!
from 1 o'clock in clock wise fashion
