very nice, Mike

thanks for aquainting me with this bird, much easier to see the details by following your build

Adam,
No cutouts or embossing. Whatever you see was done by the artwork alone.

Birder,
Yo're welcome. There is certain beauty in those Japanese planes, but you probably noticed that building the Zero

Time for the update....
Right wing is finished and in place but what I found out about the framework is that the exact corrections have to depend on the thickness of the cardboard used to laminate the frames so the oldest rule of cardmodeling - fit three times before applying any glue - is very much recomended here.
Time for the photos...

Outstanding, Mike!

You do really fine work.

Don

Thanks Don.
This is really a nice kit. True, it requires some fiddling with the frames but the skins go on smoothly and without any problems.
There are some color differences between parts but that is totally printing problem - I have three copies of the model and all are almost identical in this regard....
It's not that pronounced in normal circumstances but the 300W light bulb combined with a flash is merciless...

Thanks, I'm really enjoying this build. I'll have to order this kit next time I make a papermodelstore order!

Not much done over the last two weeks, but the work slowly continues...
Installed both ailerons, tail wheel and left undercarriage leg are complete, right still needs the covers.
I used wooden wheels for the Zero since they had correct diameter and width.
