Mitsubishi A6M3 model 32 Hamp OOB
The cockpit detail included in the kit is very good for the scale, but I couldn't resist improving it a bit adding scratched seatbelts instead of the included decal.
Seatbelts ready to install
Finished
Painting started. I only added a couple of wires and styrene pegs to support the side console. This piece comes with a cylindrical leg to this purpose, but wasn't there on the real thing so I cut it off.
Only flying controls missing
The dials are decal cutouts.

Looks really good David. I understand these kits are really excellent. I have one of them marked for OOB myself, but don't think I am capable of actually pulling that off… 😉

Thanks, Alec & Spanjaard! This kit is the best I've ever built so far, all parts are superbly designed and fit astonishes me every day. I've already closed the fuselage and sprayed Aotake coat on the gear wells, so more pics to follow soon!

Thanks, guys! This project and the others are on hold at the moment. I managed to finish the riveting though, and now fuselage is closed. Wells are also painted with silver and clear green (my first try with Aotake), I'll upload some pictures soon.

Started this little gem as a side project to be built mostly OOB, to test how bad my need for extra detailing is...
