1/72 Legato RE-2000 & 1/48 Tamiya A6M3

Hi all,

First up for 2011 is the Legato 1/72 RE-2000 in Hungarian markings. Pretty much OOB except for the pilot tube and seat belts. I finished it with Polyscale acrylic paints. They are ok and have a great range to choose from but have difficulty spraying them. I'm not too happy with how the camo turned out, as it was meant to be thinner green lines over a yellow base coat. I've just purchased a new airbrush so wasn't confident with the type of finish so i went with the good old blu tack.

Next is the 1/48 tamiya A6M3 (old raised panel line kit) I haven't finished a Tamiya kit in a long time and forgot how good they go together. The only addition was the seat belts (Eduard). Paints used were Tamiya acrylic and went on well. all in all an enjoyable build. The only thing I'm not happy about is the paint chipping. I've just bought a Tamiya silver marker and I obviously need more practice.

please comments everyone and don't hold back.
PS: I know my photography leaves a lot to be desired but am working on that.

Cheers - Leo P
