Take a seat…😉

A warm Welcome Marcel.

Desert Marlin
I'll watch! It's always good to see a comparison build!

Mid Franconian
Good choice of kits! I am in!

Daniel Klink Author
Also welcome Marlin and Mittelfrranke🙂 Indeed two fantastic kits, but with different level of detail in some areas. As you can see in the pics. The rudder by tamiya is a bit overdone but the surface detail is a bit more crisp and sharper.
The Tamiya Cockpit is also a bit more sharper in detail.

Desert Marlin
Is the difference in length and shape correct for the difference between the Type 11 and Type 21?

Volker Beck
Nice idea!!!! Following!

Mark Sherwood
In, I'm with Desert Marlin, is that the reason, shape and length on the differing types 🤔

David Januska
Oh great, Daniel is back with another interesting project. Following with great interest and looking forward for the results.

H.- J. Haag
👀 bin schon gespannt auf das Ergebnis!

Daniel Klink Author
Hi Mates, and welcome to Volker, Mark, David and HJ. Thanks for showing up mates.
@Mark and Marlin I guess this is a kind of a optical illusion because ot the perspective. The only differences between the Typ 11 and Typ2 21 are the 20mm Cannons
in the wings with the later version. But you are also right because even in natura the FM Zero seems slightly more petite overall.

Daniel Klink Author
Welcome Roberto, Sergej and Timmie. So the usual prepainting procedure started.

Cuajete
Great! Interesting to see the deferences 👍
Fast build and fantastic progress, Daniel!

Desert Marlin
Excellent progress!!!

BAT21
The pre-shading in image 11 is still very prominent for my taste? Since the insignia is already on, should it stay that way? 🤔

Daniel Klink Author
Almost finished.

Desert Marlin
Man that looks great!!! Fast build for sure!!!

Daniel Klink Author
Thanks Marlin, very much appreciated👍
It is the A6m2a by FM that is nearly finished btw

Volker Beck
Wonderfull 😍

Daniel Klink Author
Thank you Volker 👍 Now the Tamiya A6M2b got its camo.

Guido
Nice little gem, the FM!

Cuajete
I agree with mates. Great!

Łukasz Gliński
Very nice indeed 👍

Guido
Is the verdict that de FM is a bit more refined than the Tamiya? 🤔

The Tamiya one also turned out nice! 👍🏻

Desert Marlin
I really like these two kits! BTW, when I was on Guam, this is what the jungle;e looked like. About 10 feet (2M) into the trees and you really didn't know what was there!

Guy Rump
Great job on these Zeros Daniel! 👍

Daniel Klink Author
Hi MAtes, many thanks for your nice and encouraging words. Very much appreciated.
@Guido The FM seems to be a little bit more decent yes, but the Tamyia has the finer surface Details and you can do it with open canopy.

Cuajete
Very nice couple, Daniel. Fantastic job one more time 👍
Congrats!

Timmie
Nice pair. You've made. Congrats

Michael Kohl
Nice Zekes

Daniel Klink Author
Thank you very much Cuajete, Timmie and Michael. 👍
