Target Needed - Mitsubishi A6M2 by Murph in 1:100

[MichaelS]

Needed a target for all my lil Wildkitties and Corsairs so here we go with Aaron Murphy's A6M2 originally in 1:29. Awful lot of the later A6M5 around which is strange to me since the early ones were actually more successful. Quite a sensation when the US pilots met up with these "Nips" for the first time.

That's true.Not too many decent A6M Model 21 models around and no earlier model 11 at all afaik.

I was going to build that one-you beat me to it

You guys do not stop surprising, you, Garry, Pericles, Pacific, and others are construction machines, incredible. Leave some paper for us !! Surely it will be another great job.

Dear Mike:
When I saw the heading I thought that you were going to do a target tug and needed the target. Which I have seen done yet. there are tugs out there but no targets
Enjoy,
Miles

I think Dr Zarkov's Zero 21 is pretty good: Mitsubishi A6M2 - 21 Zero by Emil Zarkov :: ModelArt :: Card Models :: ZarkovModels Store

Others may have different opinions.

Two Forum members who are likely to give well-informed advice on this at Mike Krol (Gremir) and Glen Volyn (birder).

Will be interested to see how this turns out (your search and the model).

I built that plane and the Rufe over a decade ago and they were good models and accurate.

In 1/100 it's gonna be a tough target!

[MichaelS]

Progress so far. This is a nice kit as are all the ones from Aaron that I have built thus far.

Size of those wings reminds me of 1/72 Airfix I did many moons ago (I'm comparing to size of a keybord).That was cool model but even paper models today are more accurate than old Airfix

[MichaelS]

Yeah but they don't have ribbets to count.
