Author Topic: Natedog: Worried about the "white" Zero finish. (Read 2408 times)

I have heard that Zeros were not white or grey, but rather a brown/green gray.

Here is a color chart for IJNAF Zeroes that illustrates what I getting at.

Look at the overall coats for the A6M series.

I dont think that Zeros were as light as how you show painted in that screenshot. It needs a bit more color.

This color (amber) has been already denied by the public color charts of the day...
Hope some Japanese guys will explain it.

BTW, Saburo Sakai said that his A6M2 was "white gray (bright gray? sorry for poor english)".
so this Nate's A6M2 is correct.

I think it needs a little darker finish as well. Something that will dull it out but still leave the white in as well.

~~Wow, that's a nice job! Did you do it? Looks like the Tamiya 1/43 kit on a scratch-built base. Correct?~~

I'd be willing to be that is a rendered A6M2 and not an actual plastic model. I may be wrong though.

Either way, it is very very very nice.

If that's a CG model, it's *very* well done...the specular light is looking too real to be CG, although it could be done.

The pilot looks too small, like he's 4 feet tall.

The paint job looks like its just the metal finish. With no paint
