Both cockpits are beautiful. I really enjoy fine detail, even though is not viewable once assembly of aircraft is complete. Your so right WWII Japanese aircraft info, photos, etc. Limited when compared to Allied or even German aircraft. My interest in WWII is the SW Pacific, N. Africa, Sicily, and Italian campaign. Italian vehicle and aircraft deserve more attention in scale modeling than what the manufacturers provide. But its a business and they produce what sells. Excellent video. Looking forward to the engine builds video.
You are 100% right. Italian aircraft are beautiful. Should deserve more attention. Stay tuned, I am working on the engine video. Coming soon. Thank you for your comment.
Very nice, As we have a fully restored A6M3 Zero in the Auckland War Memorial Museum here in New Zealand I may just have to get an Eduard kit to model it.
Well that was really nice, thanks. Engine next (my favourite bit.) Also thanks for all the little snippets of history and construction, I find them very interesting. Did I hear correctly, a "rubber band" for seat adjustment?🤣
@@cslvisualstudio Ha ha, that's what I call a weight saving solution. I did actually hear on a program about a Zero restoration that the fuselage skin was so thin that the aircraft handlers were only allowed to push it using certain parts of the bodywork for fear of causing dents and splits.
Would you mind sharing the model number and brand of the drill you're using? I won those bits in a raffle, but I had no idea there was a drill for them. I've been using them as finger twist drill bits.
Hi, I hope this helps. I use this cheap USB mini drill from eBay. www.ebay.com.au/itm/394733740986?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=4vkwsu2cteo&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=XJjMpOfOQfG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY The quality is definitely not the best, and the drill chuck is crappy, but it's small and lightweight, so super easy to use for delicate work. I also use this small voltage regulator. With this device, the RPM is widely adjustable. www.ebay.com.au/itm/186677795787?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=tup8agtpr1u&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=XJjMpOfOQfG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY The drill bits are normal CNC drill bits normally from 0.1-1.0 Let me know if you need more information.

Highly recommended.
The Eduard Zero is amazing.
Thanks for your comment.
Awesome build!
Thank you 😊
Love the exquisite detail and care you put into your modeling.
Thank you ☺️
Stay tuned, the next part is coming. I do the final cut.

@@truthhurts9241 yep, as far as I know, there was a rubber-ish band behind the bucket seat to adjust the height. 😁

@@truthhurts9241 true that,
Extremely thin.
