As part of my WWII binge I found the iconic Airfix Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero. A beautiful and effective long range fighter in the employ of the Japanese Navy. Gorgeous!!

I chose the Airfix kit because it was basic and had recessed panel lines. I actually picked up two of them as well as a Tamiya version. Those remain in my stash for later ...

Technique: Rotary Engines

Rotary engines give a modeler an opportunity to really show off his detail work. I have not done one yet myself, but have just recently received a 1:48 scale North American T-6 Texan which has a rotary engine, so this became a relevant topic for me .

I am very excited to get started on it. I found a couple of video tutorials on the subject. I have not yet reviewed them all but will as a I get closer to building the Texan.
