SWEET Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero

For the first time I tried the kits of the brand SWEET and was so excited! I combined the Zero kits (no. 14107) and the japanese carrier flight deck (no.14119). Really great! But in the end the two Zeros from the kit seemed to be a little bit lonely on the deck. So I added two more Zeros and one Aichi D3A Val, the very rare ARII kit, which is not longer available.

Additional decals are from SWEET too (item no. 14-D007), with that sheet you're able to cover every Zero in the Akagi's air wing during the Pearl Harbour strikes! 

Painted with VALEO colors, washing with oil paint from SCHMINKE, a little bit of dry brushing, the antenna wire is a brin of a panty hose...  ;o))))

I had to wait a long time for the parcel from Japan where I ordered the figures from MICRO LIFE. A few more are from PREISER. Well fitting pics for the background were found in the web - and that's it! Hope you enjoy it! During the 9th international plastic modelling exhibition in Erfurt, Germany (9-26/9-27 2009) this diorama gained the silver medal in the category "aircraft dioramas".
