Re: A6M2 Model 21 Zero repaint project

Thanks for posting the photos Ara. I must have obtained earlier production versions of this when they were painted (incorrectly) light gray. I wish I had this newer model because the color looks pretty close if not right on the money. Mitsubishi Zeros were more green and Nakajima's were more tan. Will your version be a Mitsubishi or Nakajima production? My father may be able to help you determine this. The wing walk warning red stripes should not be boxed in. They are open to the wing tips. Don't forget to paint the fabric control surfaces medium gray. You might consider finishing in semi-gloss rather than gloss for scale effect. The canopy deck should be black but the cockpit should be interior green. The cowling is blue-black. Are you going to get the fuselage serial number stencil decal too?

My Marushin repaint has one big mistake - the fabric control surfaces are not medium gray as they should be - oh well!
