Another beut. never seen a 2 tone camo like on a zeke. One thing I would do would be turn the gloss up and tone the panel lines down a abit.. but it looks great. would you be willing to share your panel lines with me?

Heres a picture of a die cast of it, the real pictures I found of one are black and white.


I have an A6M2 Template at http://www.squadronspotlight.netfirms.com/riveting.html Just go to the bottom where it says "Downloads".

very cool.   I had trouble finding some different Japanese birds to do myself.   One thing, they are a test of patience in the weathering/paint chipping department.   It was either poor quality paint or bad climate or both, but lots of Japanese a/c I've seen pics of need a repaint badly...

Yep.  Im trying to find a few more pictures to show what condition it was in.  The only real photo I have is very limited and I could only tell that it had stripes and 2 camo tones.
