A6M2 Zero Update

 It's been awhile since I worked on this. Went to Eric's this past weekend for a build day. I already had it primed and I laid down the JN Grey the night before. That's when I noticed the seamlines I thought I had gotten rid of. 

I am going to have to stop using black primer. It always comes down to, I don't see it without primer, can't see it with primer to holly batballs would ya look at that, when the base color goes down.

So I spent the day, sanding out the seamlines on the top and bottom of the hull. I also grabbed the engine and got that painted and panel washed. Got the cockpit painted, panel lined and dry brushed.






Sanding the belly of the beast

 

 

Last evening, i finished sanding and got the primer and base coat back on. Today,   had a few minutes, I took some fine steel wool and gently went over the plane to smooth out the bumps. Was afraid i would scratch the paint, but it doesn't seem it.  

In the meantime, I destroyed a good pullover and pair of jeans due to an old injury acting up and spilling Tamiya Flat Black paint all over myself.
