G’day Keith (@greenterrorz),
This is looking good.
Your marathon effort is nearly over.

Thank you all @fiveten @johnb @gblair @michaelt

Last night I got my oil wash applied. I went with a burnt umber followed by a medium grey. For the engine cowl, I only used the medium grey since the burnt umber wouldn’t be pronounced:

I also got the faces painted for the figurines. I feel accomplished for getting the eyes done. I had done eyes on 1/48 in the past and they turned out pretty crazy looking…. These seem much better especially since they haven’t even had a dark wash over them yet.

Beautiful weathering result and great figure painting, Keith @greenterrorz

Thank you all! The A6M2 Zero is officially done! I have some glamour shots prepared, but won't have the shots on the carrier deck with all the figures and the B5N2 & D3A1 done until tomorrow at some point. Thanks everyone for following along, I appreciate all the input and interest over the coarse of this build. I will post my “article” tomorrow morning hopefully.

Painted figures:

The Zero looks very realistic, Keith @greenterrorz
Excellent all over. Same is valid for the figures.
