Personal notes:
• Since this is a practice build before I assemble the classic Tamiya 1:48 A6M5 (#61027), there's no denial that I made a lot of mistakes. One of which is very obvious; that there were no drybrushed areas in the cockpit, the antennae is missing, and the propeller have the wrong color. Also, I noticed that some of the roundels did not conform to the wing surfaces properly. I'd take note of all your feedback so please feel free to critique my work. Thank you.
