Default RE: CMP 120 Zero ARF Build thread

Luke - the Zero gear legs you made look fantastic.

Here's some pics of the progress I made last weekend.

I added panel lines/rivets to the interior and, I'm sure purists will complain about my color choice, but frankly, there seems to be a lot of debate regarding the correct interior color on the Zeros...I like the brownish drab color, so that's what I went with. Also, I know the instrument panel is not correct and does not allow for the MG breaches...I guess I would have gone for a more scale appearance if I had done a full interior. Looking to score a 1/6 Zero pilot soon....that's the only thing keeping me from attaching the canopy.



I also made some MG barrels...will wait to install them until afer paint is complete and will glass them in securely from the inside.


Also, the inside of the canopy is painted same color as the interior...urgh....forgot to take a photo....but really looks nice.

Finally, I got the Nelson paint shipment...colors look great and can't wait to try them out...
