1/72 Academy A6M5c Zero

--------------------

 

This is my first submission to ARC, hope you like it.  Inspired by a recent re-screening of “Empire of the Sun”, I remembered that I had a “Zero” kit buried under a mountain of plastic yet to be built!!!  The model is built straight out of the box.  The chipped paint effect was achieved by priming the model with Humbrol 56 Aluminium, painting the model with xtracolor paints and once these had dried, carefully scraping the top coat to reveal the aluminium below.  Hopefully now I have finally completed a kit, I will make in-roads into the pending pile!!!
