All the paints I will use are acrylic, Tamiya or Gunze.

For interiors the Hasegawa indicates the C-126 unmatched for acrylic colors. I'll use Tamiya's XF-71. I already got a bottle given by a modeling friend so today I'm going to paint the interiors.

For the fuselage and wings I will follow the instructions and use the H-36.
To the bottom I'm at a crossroads and I do not know what I'm going to do. Hasegawa indicates the color C-128 which does not match acrylic. Tamiya indicates the AS-2 that also does not correspond to acrylic color.

I have searched the net and noticed that there are many modelers using the XF-76 IJN Gray Green.

The seller of the store where I buy the paints is trying to get me the corresponding color of Gunze. I have to wait for the paints to arrive.

I want to thank you for following and for your comments .

Oh, and throw it in the oven, too - guess you would have to, being a "shake-n-bake" kit!

Nice kit!! Now, without removing the tape, throw it back in the box, add some glue and paint, shake it up, and see if it comes out like we've always heard!!       

Hope you have a great build with it!

Ohhh cool! I've been working forever on the 1/32nd Tamiya late Zero. I've heard a bunch of good stuff about this kit.

This looks like a very exciting build!  I’m very happy for you in that your test fit went flawlessly.  Good luck in your endevours.  I’ll be following along closely.

P.S. What brand and type of paint are you waiting on?
