A6M2, B5N, F4F, TBD

Thank you.

For the A6M Zeros I used acryl color from Valleyo (Sky Grey).

Great pictures of the Aichi Vals – really great painted.

For the B5N I used a jigsaw to cut the torpedo off the plane. This worked quite well.

I knew that by this process material would be lost – so to keep the plane save the torpedos got damaged by the process. So I had to repair the damaged torpedos.
Also, although they were attached historicly assymetric on the plane the torpedos are crossing the contact point of the flight-base. So I first attached the attachment-shells in the plane. Then I cut the torpedo in 2 pieces and put them in front and on the back of the attachment point.
After this I put some filling elements so when someone looks at the torpedo from the side – there is no interruption in the lines. (I sincerely hope that this English is understandable 🙂 Sorry if not ).

The B5N has an asymmetrical positioning of the torpedo (and also of the bombs) but not as extreme as shown in the BRS-miniature.
The BRS-miniature is excellent, regarding its details – with the exception of the torpedo which even cross the landing gear!

Here a good picture of the historical positioning.

The “head” of the torpedo is also more ahead than on the BRS model.

Best regards
