I spent an annoying half hour butchering my WalMart 21st Century Zeros last week.

Thank you for picking that scab.

You can pick up a toy blimp in the local toy department for less than a dollar.

The other plane I've seen from Pacific Aircraft wave 2 is the F6F-3/5 Hellcat in these markings.

This model is equipped with air-to-ground rockets and a long-range fuel tank.

The wheel wells on this model are deeper, and might make it possible to re-pose the gear in the retracted position.

This model is again neatly painted, with one of the few glitches being the end of the rudder...

...and another being the trimming of the propeller.

This canopy is "foggier" than the Hayate's canopy. (Note a glue spill just under the canopy.)
