Aur0ra145's Zero Egg

Post by aur0ra145 »

Howdy all!

I hope you're doing eggcellent. Things went a bit egg shaped and I'm just now getting up the build thread. I chose the Hasegawa Zero in 1:egg scale. It was the only egg plane the local model shop had.

It uhhh, is an okay kit? I probably should have gone with something else. But, this is pretty fun to put together. I got the gf a Tiger P-40 Eggplane and it looks awesome. I may get one too.

Anywho, it goes together okay, just the seams seem to need quite a bit of love. And the canopy.... Wow. I just. No.

A masked Zero canopy is a win already. That's some hard boiled determination.

Got a bit behind on this one. Plus with the website being down I forgot to update the thread. Any who, Got some Ultimate primer on the egg. Sprayed the cocpit area a chromate green color from Tamiya. Got the canopy on. Then more Tamiya XF-stuff, the IJN Grey. Engine cowl is straight Ultimate Black primer, the exhuast is MM Rust. Clear coat is on, now it just needs decals!

More than once I've left the black primer as a base color. It's an excellent black.
