Indeed, a lot of useful info and interesting research has already popped up and likely more is to come, my friend @pikofix.
Thanks for following along!

Stabilizers attached, prop rears painted "prop color", a final round of putty commenced...

Great progress one the Zero, Spiros @fiveten
The spark plug wires are a great addition and makes the engine look very detailed.
The propellor color is nice as well, which paint did you use for that.

@eb801, that is an amazing program, Eric. Installed it on my chromebook and looks superb.

Thanks my friends @eb801 and @johnb! Eric, I will install this program tonight: seems amazing!
John, I used Humbrol 113 Rust, its shade coming close to the supposed real looks.

Thanks my friend @gblair!

@fiveten, some great paintwork Spiros
@gblair, thanks George, surface paint on the way.

Surface paint applied
Seems like Spiros @fiveten and myself are picking up same pace.
Just finished mine as well with the greenish top layer.
The pre-shading still slightly visible.
Next will be the green lines used for the chosen scheme. Bit nervous to get that done.

You guys have done good work, but for future reference, Tamiya has the proper color already done for Zeros, released when they released their 1/32 A6M2. No hemming and hawing, mixing and hoping. Just thin for airbrushing and - done!

Thanks my friends @tcinla and @gblair!
True, nothing better than having your desired shade ready made...
Worst of all is when you use all your home made brew and then, for whatever reason, you need to TouchUp: your "new" brew will never march the old one... 🙂
