Daniel KlinkIt 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...

Andy BallI've only built the '72nd Hasegawa one, will be watching this one to compare!

Daniel KlinkHi 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 🙂

Andy Ballif Tamiya can't do the 'reference' Zero in '72nd....there's no hope for anyone else!

Daniel KlinkWelcome 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 KI'll take a seat for this. Have in my stash as well and the detail looks great. Your cockpit confirms it 👍

Alex Rodionov?
Interior- cool.
But rear decking beneath the canopy was the same of the cowling :blue-black.

Petr LehnertAnother group build? I haven't finished my Schwalbe yet. Watching with envy.

Daniel KlinkWelcome 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 👍👍👍

Markus AntoniusNice 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 KlinkIndeed 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
Daniel KlinkI 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 KlinkThank you Clifford, very much appreciated👍
Finally the mask arrived after 10! days from east-germany to West-germany 🙂

Daniel KlinkThank you cuajete and Jan, much appreciated mates 👍
Quick is relative 🙂

Daniel KlinkThe white Wingtips are especially used for the movie aircraft.
And is not historically correct in my opinion.
31 May 2021, 20:08
James CI missed this one. Nice work so far. I'm not familiar with the movie though 👍
31 May 2021, 20:21
Daniel KlinkHi 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.

Clifford KeeslerLooking 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 KlinkThank 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 👍

Bruce HuxtableLearning lots from your time-lapse build; really nice to see this litte gem coming together so well 🙂
4 June 2021, 13:32
Daniel KlinkThank you mates for your kind words...👍
@Roland yap the machines are really very well and very close to the original done.
@Bruce that makes me really glad and is very motivating thank you sir 👍
@Jens yes and no 🙂
BTW Added some filteing with green and some fading effects.
Now comes the splattering

Daniel KlinkThank 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.
6 June 2021, 19:48
Daniel KlinkThank you Christoph and Guillaume, very muich appreciated... A few things are still left to be done

Marco GallmannWhat a great Zero, I really like the shading 👍 the Cockpit is hand painted? Looks better as mine cockpits which I always wdo airbrushed.
7 June 2021, 17:54
Daniel KlinkWow guys, thank you all for your very nice comments.. Iam somewhat overwhelmed, and it it is very motivating for more Green Hinomaru Birds 👍
@Marco yes it is handpainted with Gunze Mr. color inetrior colors. Smelling like hell but are absolutely brillant to work with for small areas.

CuajeteVery 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 KlinkThank 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 KlinkHm 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
Peter HardyA 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!
26 August 2021, 22:15
Łukasz GlińskiVery nice backgroung you've got there. Zero being no worse by any means 😉
27 August 2021, 06:57
James CAwesome looking Zero set against an equally awesome looking background. Very nicely done Daniel 👍
28 August 2021, 18:26
Daniel KlinkHi Mark, Roberto, Frank and James, thank you very much for your motivating and nice words 👍
Very much appreciated! Really glad you like the outcome 👍
29 August 2021, 10:17
William JoelI 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?
29 August 2021, 16:44
Daniel KlinkThank Ou William and Stefan much appreciated👍
@william i just bought it 🙂
29 August 2021, 22:24
William JoelDaniel - thanks for the reply, bought it... may I ask where? Is it simply a print on card stock or thin wood or other material?
30 August 2021, 23:31
Łukasz GlińskiGot one of them, but it seems too small for me. Or I have to work on better framing 😄
3 September 2021, 07:21
Daniel KlinkHi 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!
But rhey got bigger ones👍
