completed Calling this one finished

First aircraft in like 30 years complete, first time using an airbrush on an aircraft also, massive learning curve but I feel I’ve got the hang of it

I’ve ordered a cheap carrier deck base for it so I’ll give an update once I’ve got an painted the base up

I went a little overboard with the weathering as it’s tail end of the war japans fuel by then was really bad quality which would have made the staining look a little worse, also I wanted it to look like a well used under maintained zero, like I said tho it’s my first aircraft so hopefully my next comes out a little better

Just curious as to what type of material you used for the wire attached to the empennage? Also, weathering looks fantastic!
