Not too much progress on this end over the last several months. Business has been just ridiculously busy, which is good for the finances but hard on family life and leaves precious little time for any meaningful progress on the build.

Anyway I have finished the glassing, joining of the wing halves and all of the chart-tape panel lines. All of the ink reference lines are done on the wing top and bottom for the foil panels and now I'm getting some of the foil tape panels done. About 80% done on one half of the wing underside and 15% of the other underside.

I am quite pleased with finishing my "definitive" IJN/IJA A6M Zero nomenclature package. Finally able to work the bugs out of my graphics program and maintain the clarity editing through several cyles of opening and saving edit sessions. It seemed I was chasing my tail for a long time with having to re-do things that had been finished in previous sessions that got corrupted or blurred in subsequent sessions.

I'm doing 61-108 so the ryanmark/ID stencil reflects that specific plane as well. I was able to produce a nice clear set of waterslide decals from the raw files and am sending a graphics package to Vicki at Getstencils.com for a price quote. Whether I end up using the waterslides of having her make me some dry transfers, get stencils will have the stuff in their inventory for future wants, needs and desires.

Still have to erase the dk green from the tail numbers, clean up the outline and monochome it. I may just make a mask and paint this one...It's plenty big to work with.
