That's a beautiful cockpit job, James. Don't think my eyes could handle the wires! It's always a shame when you close it up and can't see much, but there's a lot of enjoyment getting there ....

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Paul, I agree it's a shame but at least I have a record of it !

[@paulhargreaves1497]

@@lpjmodels Of course I keep forgetting it's 1/48...my stash demands I close the 'pit and forget any details like Anyz that requires a microscope!

You should see the next one lined up 😀

This is absolutely amazing James.

[@petebianconi5781]

Excellent build! Looks soooo real.

Beautiful! I've learned a ton of painting tips from you throughout a number of your builds.. Thank you!

You're welcome mate ! I'm just glad they help folks out

Great build and AMAZING paint job. Thanks for sharing

Decals in Cockpit from the Kit? Phantastic work.

Yeah these are the peely eduard ones. Really nice register on em

Just rewatching this to recharge my mojo. Still amazed by the cockpit and the overall paint job!

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Mate ! Please when you are recharged send a little my way 😀

[@okkami676]

I really love the way you explained the ways you built & painted. I've learnt so much!

[@herrlogan17]

Beautiful model and really excellent build!! It´s a pure joy to watch your work!

[@MrKov1985]

When picking out small details on instrument panel, I dry brush it in whatever colour it needs. It’s a lot easier than trying to carefully trying to paint it on directly. Good build btw, very enjoyable to watch.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks MrKov ! I completely hear that, drybrushing is something I don't use for some reason. ( I used to , in spades) I'll give It a go next time

[@samuelbennett1717]

One of the best Zeroes I've seen!

[@MikeDecky]

Well done! I love the weathering, it’s not overloading the final look. Perfect Zero!

[@paulodonovan1142]

A masterpiece James. Fantastic 👍🏻

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Paul 🍻 😊

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

Great build! Working on a Zero now and I appreciate the additional inspiration.

[@jimaltergott9326]

A very unique paint scheme. One I have never seen on a Zero before. Loved the build start to finish. The wiring on the engine and in the cockpit added an extraordinary amount of scale effect detail to both areas. Job VERY well done sir 👍👍

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Jim ! There was almost 0 reference for this one unfortunately. It was 100% a thing, but again, not something you see often

Thanks a lot. A few people have said that now. The planets must have aligned for this one 😆

[@FlokisModels]

Stunning work! Looks like I got a new kit on the wish list now. I'm glad to see you added the exhaust staining to the landing gear doors, I've seen a lot of builds where the bottom of the aircraft was dirty but the gear doors are way clean. I'm also going to go check out them switches sounds like a nice file to have.

[@lpjmodels]

Hey Floki , thanks man ! The anyz switches are great, they run at about €4 per file ( I got 4 ) . I nearly missed the gear doors too !

[@jamesmcansh6393]

Very impressive always learn so much from you.✌Canada✌

[@lpjmodels]

Cheers James ! Glad the vids are useful

[@jeffsternon5062]

Nice work !

[@CetoFreakingKaiba]

Brilliant result, I really like what you achieved with the chipping medium, granted that it's really hard to get a good result with a metallic substrate. I also love the way you handled oils. It is an easy way to add visual interest to your model and many use it sloppily, but I think you showed them the respect that is due to bring out the best of them.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Agelos ! I think one of the things people expect with oils is to "get them " right away but like with all of these things it takes time and practice to understand the nuances and little tricks to get them performing as we want. But once you get the hang of them they are so versatile !

[@kiwiruna9077]

Nice, Very very nice. Those switches are amazing and add an another dimension, however I think that way madness lies🤣

[@lpjmodels]

I think I already caught the madness 🙃

[@fotomakr]

Liked the tips/techniques you showed on the oil weathering and blending. Knowing how long you’re waiting to start removing and blending was nice/confirmed my technique 😊

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Bryan ! There's one thing I love and that's oil work. I never wick away the linseed though. Naughty naughty 😋

Superb! The best Zero model I have seen! Paint job is very subtil, weatrhering technics is clever. The video and the narrative are didactic. And yes your cockpit is a success. ;)

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Bertrand ! I try and balance information without overloading the viewer so that's good to hear

[@bertrandviolette9008]

@@lpjmodels I think, it’s the good balance. Anyway you’ll have a lot of other models to deliver others informations, so, no problem. Once again I really appreciate how the paint job and the weathering are made, because it is the more realistic that way. Sure, when in front of the model, the way you do the weathering can be really appreciated.

[@gavinbooth]

I really like Japanese world war two aircraft and thought that was a cracking build James well done marra . Regards Gav.

[@lpjmodels]

thanks Gav! i have a soft spot for em myself

[@brucethemodelnoob]

Absolutely stunning James. The depth and tonal variation in the paintwork is brilliant, the chipping is tastefully restrained, and the weathering is just enough. I have to ask - why didn’t you apply the canopy masks before glueing the canopies on? Intuitively it would seem to give you more control to be able to hold and move the canopies in your hand while applying the masks.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Bruce! If I can get away with it I'll mask with the canopy attached, sometimes you may need to do a little filling , and it's good to see if there is any dust or crap on the canopy before gluing it down.

[@Oda_shinnosuke]

There was also such a painting as the aircraft color of this time of Zero Fighter. As a Japanese, this is a new discovery.

[@carols912]

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Looks great, I've learned many very interesting things, I must check VMS and more MRP also. And I give You one advice - it is good to use cap for airbrush cup - when it is full, it's very easy to spill paint over model. With so precise painting, that will be total disaster. ;) All the best for You! ;)

[@lpjmodels]

good tip Jeden, i usually only have a small amount in the cup and haven't had an accident yet ( tempting fate there)
