                        Hello all,
                        I'm from Finland, far north of Europe. I just came back to modeling after a few years. Back then I was just a little boy and seldom got any models truly finished, only assembled.

                        Now, I'm building the A6M5 Zero-Sen by Revell (I don't have enough money for a Tamiya). It looks it's going to be my best one yet and I'm working on some subtle weathering too. What makes my model interesting is that I don't use the regular green-grey paint model, but a green-orange.

                        The paint is based on a training version of an A6M2 model. Nobody knows for sure whether or not this orange-bottomed paint model was ever used on an A6M5.

                        I'll post up some pics as soon as it's finished.


                        Zeb

                        If I understand this correctly you are doing the right right thing for a trainer version of the A6M5.
                        P.S. I have an article about this somewhere in this pile of aviaton magazinesBig Smile [:D]
