Re: A6M2 Model 21 Zero repaint project

Ara - your model looks gray-green? Mine all came light gray with no green tint whatsoever (except for the topside dark green versions)! Can you post a photo of it?

Heya Chris,

Yes the heartbreaker is that the paint looks very close to a "more correct" version of gray green than the typical light grey. I will post photos tomorrow.

I am more interested in depicting a glossy light tan/olive version, plus as I mentioned, the national markings are just too big for a Pearl attacker. Take a look at that great 3/4 shot of the Zeke taking off the Akagi, that's the size Hinomaru I'm going for. Very distinctive for the day, and my Eagle Strike decal sheets have the size I'm interested in.
