True, but he appears to have a slightly quizzical look on his face in that pic ? Looks as though he's uncertain about something ? 

Lovely job as usual

Well, he told me that he has some fears that the landing gear will not be right. He is thinking quite a while about it now.

Think twice, act once, intelligent bear

The next project will be another Japanese-German Cooperation in repainting a Japanese plane in Luftwaffe colors

This is the box:

The cockpit is in place now


Basically everything is ready to send it into the paint shop

Looking forward to the scheme you choose for this

I am still not sure which colour scheme to use. Currently trying a few ones on a test model, but so far, there is no real favourite.

[NARSES2]

I've become a lot more patient since I retired 

[nönöbär]

Its simply too hot these days, makes no real fun to build some models.

Anyway, at least some painting has been done, after several camo tests, I returned to something more classic:

While the "Ente" is in its final construction phases, something else just got completed:

Last year, I watched the Japanese move "Eternal Zero" with my GF. As the name suggests, there are quite a lot Zeros in it. So my GF bought me a Hasegawa Zero box - with two kits in it - last Christmas which of course I had to build.

While still wondering what kind of What-If to make from it, as I already have made a Luftwaffe Zero from Airfix kit, I decided to build the first of the two as a classic Japanese one. But trying to make it it bit used, so here is the result:

[NARSES2]

That's come out really nice 

[TheChronicOne]

Yes, that looks very nice!!!   Great work, bud!

[Dizzyfugu]

Nice outcome!

A nice use of a Zero is the travesty into a Swedish Saab J19 fighter that never was, but was actually designed along the A6M's outlines:



I already did two of these (as personal interpretations), looks very convincing. 

[nighthunter]

Nevermind that the Gloster F.5 was of a similar design too.
