Mentioning of that technique, how to deal with mistakes and a good drawings of any version of the airplane which would show full set of rivets would be really great.3) Would be really cool if in the chapter where the process of building Rufe model is described the model would be built not on dolly but on the "water" (techniques of using acrylic paints in clear epoxies is a "cheap"(well, cheap on skill but not on wallet) way to improve the model by putting it into diorama without too much work. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Okay but could be better *by S***Z on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2014* There was plenty of detail of how to paint and weather the Zero in various scales (except 1/24) but very little on how to detail it. While most people who undertake modeling the Zero are probably familiar with the differences among the various A6M versions, there is nothing to help the neophyte or casual modeler identify it.There isn't any information on how to detail the cockpit and precious little regarding how the various knobs, levers and gauges are colored. There is nothing to indicate how the various gauges in the cockpit should be depicted or even how to detail the landing gear. There are photos available but many of them are small and don't show the subject well enough.Having said that, the book does have some helpful tips however. The paint guide showing the color codes for various pain manufacturers is very helpful especially when it comes to odd colors such as aotake.Worth the price overall. Just don't expect a definitive guide on the Zero. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best Osprey Aircraft build reviews *by M***3 on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2007* Two things caught my attention right away - the author empahsized that this is a hobby and is to be done for fun and to satisfy the modeler, not the contest judge or the 'reviewer'. Excellent. Also, the caliber of this man's builds and his techniques are simply outstanding. This book is jammed with good advice, techniques and practices. The various sections describing the actual weathering and abuse the Japanes planes were subject to (and, more importantly in many instances, not subject to) is worth the price of the book. It seems to be a little known fact among modeling circles that the Japanese planes were primed with a dark red primer which would, naturally, show up due to wear, chipping, etc. This is seldom portrayed on most heavily weathered Japanese scale models. Reading books like this will help you do your homework in a most enjoyable way, and build better models besides. I recommend this book to you even if you are not interested specifically in Japanese aircraft because the philosophies and techniques are applicable to all kinds of scale modeling. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14947626-modelling-the-mitsubishi-a6m-zero-osprey-modelling](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14947626-modelling-the-mitsubishi-a6m-zero-osprey-modelling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
