Franck your build is really coming out nice. I too am wondering how the Mig product compares to regular poster tack. Looking forward to seeing more.

I also wonder how the Mig stuff compares to plain old poster tack.
The Mig stuff is more like the slime toy that kids play with; poster tack is much firmer and has to be kneaded to soften it up. Now, the Mig can get tangled in PE and stuff but you can work it out if you are careful.

Softer. And without the residue.

I can offer a lower priced option which is the same as "panzer putty/MIG". It's called "HAND PUTTY". I bought my tin of it for 4 or 5 bucks from bang good in china works better than blu-tac in some cases. For your consideration. The powder blue color takes longer to droop.

For 4 years i've used poster tack for a couple of armor models. And when i have peeled the tacks, the paint came off and had a lot of shadow traces.
And I discovered this mig putty and it works like a charm: no shadows, adheres properly and removes perfectly without damaging the paint.

Hello Folks
This will be my entry for the Campaign. Been suffering from severe loss of Mojo and I hope this will bring me back to the bench with full flow.
Cheers

Welcome back, Raj. Seems like a nice rebound kit to get the mojo flowing! 
I have added a metallic coat and some chipping fluid. First time I try the AK heavy chipping fluid, so it will be interesting to control and see the final result.

Echoing Jesper's comments, outstanding work by you two!! Looking forward to more progress on those Zekes
I just finished my build! I've been making such incremental progress the last few weeks that I guess I forgot to take pictures along the way...oops. I also have to figure out my photography situation since my DIY photocube didn't exactly survive my recent move.

Hi all!
Chaz and Collin, I didn't look over your shoulders!
Base coats on, and the instrument panel getting there!
Just gotta get the MiG 21 to make a little room around here!

Lots of Zekes lol! Got it all together and ready for paint:
Primed and preshaded, and I hit the cockpit frames with interior green before the grey primer.

Hi mates,
started today with my entry for this campaign:
I won't probably use ALL of the resin parts, I think the plastic cockpit with resin seat and sidewalls will do. I'm not in the mood to deal with fitting issues with the assembled resin interior. The canopy will be closed, so what? We'll see how things will go
Cheers Peter

The cockpit is finished. Pending pilot figure (or not).
Weathering is kept at the minimum. Last time I've found myself to overdo it, therefore a change of the approach.

Looking good! Got my colours on, doing a Mitsubishi built Zero, so no Aotake in the wheel wells!

I see that no Aotake on the interior of the flaps too - is that correct?. The kit manual says to use Aotake, but your approach is right.

According to the Mushroom Model Publication’s “big yellow, Mitsubishi A6M Zero” the Misubishi Zeros were exterior colour in the landing gear bays, inside of landing gear covers and inside of flaps. Hopefully they're correct!
