I got up early this morning and finished the interior of the Val during my coffee drinking ritual.

Group Build> Japan

After adding a few more bits I put the fuselage halves together and installed the wing--the fit around the root area was a bit puzzling......... :-help It took some filler in several places, but now it is presentable.

After laying the first coat of filler on the Val I masked and painted the anti-glare panel and the fuselage decking under the aft canopy of the Zero. On this airplane the aft decking is standard IJN dark green and the Americans painted the anti-glare panel in normal AAF olive drab.

The disassembly of the third project also got started tonight. This didn't put up too much of a fight and will be a rather quick and easy restoration, other than masking and painting the "ATAIU SEA" legends.

Thanks!

Good progress, No.1. :-cool

This morning's agenda was to get coffee brewing and prime the Val repair areas. Then a light coat of flat white base followed by yellow leading edge stripes and propeller tips. The Zero flight controls were sprayed with aluminum and sealed as the first step in the NMF process.

The splinter camouflage makes it even more aggressive looking!
