Very nice build you have there John.
Can appreciate the time and effort you are taking on such a valuble kit.

Stynylrez continues to amaze me! even though spraying a model this large has its challenges, this stuff just lays beautifully straight out of the pot.

Now into the airing cupboard for 24 hours. The colour is now mixed, and there's a few little detailed parts to sort out while I wait.
Yup, the approach is different, for sure! If you've watched any Andy's Hobby Headquarters videos on building tanks, you'll see it is possible to pretty much build the thing, then paint it (especially owning an aitbrush like yours!). No way would it be possible with most planes - well, for airbrushing, anyway - but that is a big part of the challenge!More Hero than Zero if you ask me!
I'm getting more and more keen on trying some air planes myself... Way different than my German tanks.
Trying to get the hang of it with a Horten Ho 229 and a Bf190 E in 1/72 scale just to understand the different approach?!
Later next year when the bench is a bit quieter I will attempt something flying in 1/32 scale and see how it goes?
Excited to see how this Zero turns out!
Thanks Antonio, I'm going to be black basing this, so it was a no brainier! The finish you get with Stynylrez is unreal, if I was painting a nightfighter, I'd be tempted to use this primer as topcoat. It is quite the most tolerant paint I've ever sprayed.Beautiful. I liked the painting of black.

I agree with the painting business and painting as you go, as you do with air planes, is something I want to do as standard from now on and bring with me to the tanks!Yup, the approach is different, for sure!

I'm betting that you have all the required skills in abundance Graham! If you fancied it, just build one on the sly, then there's no pressureI gave up trying to build aircraft a long time ago but this is looking good John.
