5 years later this is still the best 1/72 Zero on youtube!

Been modeling for 40+ years...still learn something new everytime I watch another modeler build...great job!

[tullskull]

Very nice build. Man that is an impressive amount of cockpit detail for 1/72! Thank you Tamiya!

[stevenpuderbaugh]

I have viewed other build videos, and I must say that your technique of black basing, then marbling and colorization works very well. I'm looking forward to using it on my next build.

[vegomatic]

Hard to believe that it's a 1:72 model! Your detail and weathering technique is incredible.

[ИгорьДобрынин-чр]

Отличная работа!А идея с ремнями-вообще очень интересная.

[brinx]

Nicely very good job everywhere! I only wish there were a few pictures of the finished model. It's one of the best 1/72 Zeros that I have seen.

[paulhargreaves]

Great Job! I think a few people nit-picking are forgetting how small it really is! I'd love to get that finish on 1/48!

[robbo]

Pure artistry! Great build, painting and techniques creating such impact. A must watch for any beginner, mediocre or experienced modeller. Will definitely check out other builds on your channel.

[okkami]

Very nice build! It's interesting how you added rivets after you built the main parts.

16:23 The engine cowling is actually very dark blue, not black. In most pictures it does not show very well, but some pictures show clearly a dark blue cowling.
The end result is absolutely great !  Hard to tell this is a 1:72 scale model !
Well done.

[wlovett]

Brilliant. Marvelous craftsmanship. Kudos and thanks for your presentation. Your patience and attention to detail make you a role model.

[SmallSoldier]

Great build and nice paintwork. I've built the Tamiya 72nd A6M3 and it was a pleasure to build as well. It's hard to beat Tamiyas great engineering and detail.

[juanpedromoralesvieyra]

Very nice little model.very detailed. Great work dude. But yes the subliminal messages are a little annoying

[erikspierenburg]

I am building this now, but all I can say is "bravo!"

[bebopkirby]

l was feeling confident about my skills right up till he started working on the outside of the plane. Beautiful work, light years beyond my skills.

[BrettG]

Nice job... the kit turned out very nice. I bult that kit last year and it is the kit that showed me that 1/72 is a scale I can do from time to time. The assembly goes great because everything fits so well.

[anotheruser]

Nice build again. I picked up a few (for me) new techniques. One note, I have to agree with Appiann - the not so subliminal 'subscribe' is a bit annoying.

Keep up the good work!

[andredrahonnet]

It is great, i understand all what you speak the same english . Very good work

[jonathanhudak]

You do beautiful work! I love how your Zero turned out, it looks like the real thing. Your video has given me lots of new ideas to try for my modeling, thank you!
