Awesome job with the Zero & the weathering looks very realistic👍💯👍💯👍💯. I think that zero known by the decal & the number is from AKAGI Fighter Group (2nd wave) flown by Lt. Saburo Shindo during the attack of Pearl Harbor. "Note this just history"
I think you nailed the weathering. For those who think you went over board on the weathering must not have ever looked into actual historic photos of WWII aircraft and how absolutely destroyed they looked for those that were lucky enough to make it deep in the war. There are many many,many photos of zeros with hardly any paint on them as SALT WATER FROM THE OCEAN corroeds and eats the paint and aluminum from aircraft. So hell of a job..
Not this early in the war. the ground crew that allowed their plain to get that dirty and such would have been thrown overboard. These planes were kept VERY clean and some (at least) were even waxed in an attempt to improve performance. HOWEVER, you are quite right about the weathering later inn the war - those planes were beat to hell. That said, artistically (I make full allowance for artistic expression) the finished model here is a true work of art! I can only look forward to when I am able to do such magnificent work.
These things are a work of art! Do you sell these, because I'd pay for one and I'll bet I'm not the only one. So realistic looking and by far the best modeling skills on TH-cam, let alone in real life. I'll pay for an A6 intruder or a F4U Corsair.
Finally someone who has a tutorial without all of the useless chatter, box reviews (hate them) and just shows you how to build it. It is his way, but it is so informative and the boredom factor is ZERO !!! Thanks for a great tutorial ...
This is it.... a Zero model built to perfection..... I can never build a Zero again..... Yes I can lol, wonderfully inspirational video :D I really like the dropped flaps and added rivets this is a stunning model :D
Amazing job David, hats off. I have 2 questions, Do you clean the oil wash with dry kitchen paper or you make it wet with something? On weathering with oil stage, after you put the oils on to the model, how do you feather it? with dry brush or with thinner or turpentine etc. Thank you...
Hi David. I really enjoyed watching this build along with all your other videos. I have a question that might seem obvious, but what color did you use for the fuselage? Is it white or a light grey? Seems to be quite a debate on many forums in regard to this question. I think the color you chose looks most accurate. Please let me know when you can. Thanks and keep up the fantastic work...cheers!
Very nice type zero build. The paint scheme is freaking me out. Not to white, not to gray. I have the Airfix 1/72 kit, but I haven't built it yet because of the paint issue. This paint scheme is close.

Hello! I watched your great vid another time and very like your model! I have question. What kind of super glue you used to glue rigging wire? Thx for your answer.
you have that golden hands. All your works are fabulous. watching all your videos, how easy for you to handle and create the arts. Well done. I do enjoy your videos. Please build F-14 Tom Cat for your next project.
hey, what type of paint did you use to bring out the different surfaces and parts (i mean the black diluted paint)? Is simply it very diluted water paint or taimya paint?
What about the blank under the fuselage where the red strips end? Its just my humble modeling opinion but i think its TO weathered. It looked right half through the vidio. It just looks TO worn.
I love his modelling talent. But, the smaller the scale, the less you would see the effects of weathering I believe. It DOES make the detail really pop though! I'd cut back myself as well and use a less amount of black, or use the base color with just a hint of grey/black for the shadow effect on certain areas. Now if it were planes that had flown through huge burning oil clouds as in the case at Pearl Harbor, the outer portions of the plane could get pretty dingy.
Arc Light its probably cuase hes used to building bigger models like a 1/48 f-15 or something, on that the weathering would be less noticable compared to the aircraft size, and the stains would be bigger
The WW 2 Japanese aircraft often looked absolutely grimy, partially because the fuel quality available to the fleet was very poor. With the throttle wide open, the Mitsubishi engines often misfired, thereby emitting flames and an oily smoke trail. US pilots were in fact instructed not to believe that they had hit the Japanese planes in a dogfight just because the planes started throwing sparks and trailing smoke. The consequent removal of this oily residue from the wings and the fuselage by the Japanese maintenance team often damaged the thin and rather poor quality paintwork to the level where in some cases it almost completely washed off, revealing the bare metal underneath. So Davids excellent rendering (while using some artistic license) is in fact not completely unrealistic.
Towards the end of the war the paint they used was inferior and chipped and faded very easily there was a blockade on Japan. Towards the end the best they could do was scavenge parts sometimes color schemes were mismatched ect. Their first priority was a serviceable aircraft and the color schemes became less important.
I just built and painted this plan, i did a layer of chrome and then white. what should i use to weather it down on the edges and what not? I was thinking just use a bit of paint thinner and a paper towel or q tip
Amazing. Is that a satin clear coat applied before the wash? It gave the model a very nice texture. I imagine if it were a gloss clear coat, most of it would be wiped away with the napkin?
I have just got back into modelling after many years, your videos are great very informative.
Thank you

Amazing effect and fascinating modelling skills

For a 1/72 scale, it´s a real beauty. Amazing.
Wow! This is really something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing your passion.
That metallic light blue is beautiful
metalic blue made for japan planes Tamiya X-13😉
As always, a fantastically built Zero from Dave. Can you please share the proportion of XF2 + XF78 and XF70 to get this result?
This is why i love aircraft models
Your planes are awesome in detail. Have you thought about doing them with battle damage,maybe bullet holes especially the big war bombers.
A lovely Zero this. If I may ask, What ratios did you use the XF-2, XF-78 and XF-70 to achieve the base colour.

スミ入れしすぎ
Wow!! Superb finish ans just incredible weathering👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing job David, hats off. I have 2 questions,
Do you clean the oil wash with dry kitchen paper or you make it wet with something?
On weathering with oil stage, after you put the oils on to the model, how do you feather it? with dry brush or with thinner or turpentine etc.
Thank you...
You are a master. Another stunning work.
fabulous job !! model built to perfection !!
the pre shading after base color is great
turned out amazing,love your models=)
Another beauty.
I am going to do zero in 2 next weeks. I hope it will look at least half good as you did it here *o*
Very nice work man, that's some professional paint work right there!
Great job David, can I ask, what is it you use for your sludge wash? Is it oils?
Another great plane, i realy like your weathering. Great job!!
Excellent build. Love it
looks awesome, great build....
Very impressive reality you can do.
Congratulations David. on your friend here in Brazil
Un modelo genial, espectacular. Una lastima que no indiques las pinturas usadas para el proceso.
Hello David! Great work but may I ask what cloth you use to wipe down the oil wash? Everything I use leaves lint on the model. Thanks! Dee
Hi,
exzellent work. I am very impressed. Thank you for showing your tricks. I'll try it on my next plane.
Greetings.
You're an inspiration for beginners like me.
This weathering is spectacularly applied. This white version I think is the navy version. I hope to build it myself, now that you've showed us how.

It was a mix of different colors. tamiya XF-2 white + xf-78 beige + xf-70 green. unfortunately I don't know the precise ratio.
PLASMO - plastic models thank you for the reply David.👍🏼
Very nice type zero build. The paint scheme is freaking me out. Not to white, not to gray. I have the Airfix 1/72 kit, but I haven't built it yet because of the paint issue. This paint scheme is close.
Me gusta mucho como te quedan, buen trabajo.
Can you please do a weathering tutorial because you're amazing

Another great video build mate!
Awesome skills you have with those hands , can't wait to see you made Messerschmitt Bf 109 .
Stunning Zero. Top painting and weathering. Awesome.
Ahoj co používáš za olejové barvy?Normální olejovky nebo nějaké speciální na modely?A čím to popřípadě ředíš?
Amazing work!! What is the ratio of the three colors? XF-2 + XF-78 + XF-70
What an AMAZING build. I admire your free hand airbrushing skills. How long did you let the wash sit before you cleaned it up?
Like the stained weathering on the wings.
très bien pôur du 1/72....super interieur ...
Once again, brilliant. I've learned a lot from your videos.
Well done ! After put washing what technic are you using? Is it dry brushing ? Can you explain how You do? and wich paint are you using? Thanks !
Wow! Simply stunning.
Tenks for the leson . Plasmo is the best!!!!!!😃
Hello! I like your build of A6M2b. I have question. What paint you use for painting all model?
A master-class model! Thanks for sharing your techniques.
What type of wash did you use for the first stage of weathering?
Fantastic video as always. Your models are the best. What was the metallic green colour that you used for the wheel wells please.
Superb finish!!!
Terrific build of that Zero, hey, a question: Did you used normal Flat White colour for the fuselage, or did you combined two types of paint?
Hello! I watched your great vid another time and very like your model! I have question. What kind
of super glue you used to glue rigging wire? Thx for your answer.
you have that golden hands. All your works are fabulous. watching all your videos, how easy for you to handle and create the arts. Well done. I do enjoy your videos. Please build F-14 Tom Cat for your next project.
+Erwin Kamsul Maby I have 1/48 f-14 but I have no time for finish it. So many modification on model must be done. Now I am building a B-17.
+PLASMO - plastic models Nice. Would love to see b-52, a-10 and other F's.
hey, what type of paint did you use to bring out the different surfaces and parts (i mean the black diluted paint)? Is simply it very diluted water paint or taimya paint?
How long have you been making models ?
I don't like the intense music that much but you make tha best models ever
I see the douchebag "rivet counters" have found your TH-cam channel! Great technique. I love watching you work David!
If you are counting rivets, maybe you need to move out of your parents basement.
Magnífico trabajo y muy realista.
Hey Plasmo! Do you use Micro Crystal Clear for fixing the Canopy ?
This is art!
Crazy good build
Excellent job, congratulations 👍🏅
Excellently done. One of my top favourites.
Great job can't wait until you do a Messerschmitt Me 262
WOW! Really great job with the painting, shading and weathering.
Well done mate.
What about the blank under the fuselage where the red strips end?
Its just my humble modeling opinion but i think its TO weathered. It looked right half through the vidio. It just looks TO worn.
chtěl jsem se zeptat jaký odstín modrý jsi použil u toho prostoru na motor?
When you remove the wash, do you use a dry paper? How long do you wait before removing it?
Are you using black electricians tape as a mask? If so does it leave a lot of adhesive residue on the model?
Whilst you are obviously a fantastic modeler David, do you not think the weathering was a bit too heavy ?
I love his modelling talent. But, the smaller the scale, the less you would see the effects of weathering I believe. It DOES make the detail really pop though! I'd cut back myself as well and use a less amount of black, or use the base color with just a hint of grey/black for the shadow effect on certain areas.

Excelente trabajo.
I don’t think Japanese ever allowed their aircraft to become this soiled.
They do now aparently
They never lasted long enough to get very dirty
They got quite dirty, except the hinamaru's (red circles) which were religously cared for as it was respect to the emperor.
Towards the end of the war the paint they used was inferior and chipped and faded very easily there was a blockade on Japan. Towards the end the best they could do was scavenge parts sometimes color schemes were mismatched ect. Their first priority was a serviceable aircraft and the color schemes became less important.
Ever been to the Asian jungles?
ALWAYS LOVE YOUR WORK, WISH PAINT COLORS ECT. WERE IN THIS VIDEO.
Any chance you can list all paints etc used in your videos. That would be super helpful.
I just built and painted this plan, i did a layer of chrome and then white. what should i use to weather it down on the edges and what not? I was thinking just use a bit of paint thinner and a paper towel or q tip
One awesome zero man! can I ask what do you use for the areal cable?
+ModArt633 From plastic sprue. th-cam.com/video/rlTkF8CCvj0/w-d-xo.htmlm13s
superbly realized
Great!
May I ask you the ratio and the colours? Thanks
Do you top coat every step of detail? Like for panel lining, weathering etc...
David, which airbrush do you use? It looks like it's really comfortable to use, are you happy with the performance and is it easy to clean/maintain?
+Danny Mulders II have very old airbrush Hansa 581. Over 100 dollars is good any arbush. I think, all airbrushes are same.
Superb Zero!
Beautiful aircraft!
Masterpiece
very nice model
Amazing. Is that a satin clear coat applied before the wash? It gave the model a very nice texture. I imagine if it were a gloss clear coat, most of it would be wiped away with the napkin?
+lon242 I used super clear III gloss varnish before wash.
You're the best. Congrats
Wow! awesome work. Like your videos.
Hello, may I know what paint and technique you use for at 2:42 ? Thank you
please can you make again this vidéo by adding the details of the painting used . you ar the best
a beauty!
may i post link to your vids in the forums i go to ?
and why are you using decals for the meatballs and not paint ?
+83DRIFTKING Thanks. Yes, of course you can share it. I will be very glad.
And second question. Because I am very lazy :-D
Whoa! I just ordered airfix Stuka
Very impressive
so 1st cape of shining barnish, then add the ink, clean it and 2º use flat barnish?
Work of art! :-)
