Thanks coolboxx . I put the decals, applied the gloss clear, simulate the exhaust gases (need a retouch) and a few more drained liquids. Finally mate clear. Auxiliary fuel tank. Regards ajcmac

Rob. Thanks. I did not abuse the shipping much because I think this Zero is already from the end of the war. I applied lights and shadows and applied other colors to give a better weathering effect and, I think I did. I applied weathering and some shipping. Then I applied a clear gloss coat of Alclad. Now the decals. Regards ajcmac

And after the mask was ready I painted the green (Tamiya's XF-70). Regards ajcmac

Thanks coolboxx. I started the process of weathering. I already have the attack edge of the wings painted yellow. Follow the mask and paint the top green. Regards ajcmac

GusMac I've had some, mostly from Badger, and I liked it. He had, for me, a fault with Harder & Steenbeck. Cleaning the airbrush and replacing the parts. Now I do not think about changing. I finished the engine cowling... and the propeller. And after everything glued and ready I started painting the model. Bottom of the model. Landing gear doors and rear landing gear. Additional deposit. Regards ajcmac

This has been standing in the paintings because I had a problem with the airbrush. Nozzle, air cap or needle ??? To be sure, I bought the complete set. In the meantime I glued the model. Missing the machine gun in the cockpit because following the Hasegawa scheme does not enter. I did an experiment and got glue at the end. It even avoids complications in painting. Regards ajcmac

Coolboxx The quality of the kit helps a lot. It's a great kit. Fused fuselage lines were sanded to remove the glue marks and glued the rear stabilizers. The propeller with weathering. Now another layer of glocc clear, a wash and then mate clear. Regards ajcmac

Thanks Cees . The interiors are ready. Regards ajcmac

Weekend and many hours spent on the bench. Seat belts with weathering. Glued fuselage. The engine . The exhaust pipes are missing. The propeller. Regards ajcmac

More advances in the cockpit. Now the decals on the dashboard, glue the seat belts and I get the cockpit ready. Regards ajcmac

The interiors almost ready. Painted canopy. The engine parts are already painted. Regards ajcmac

While waiting for the arrival of some paints I went ahead some parts. Wings and auxiliary tank already glued. I painted the wheels. I applied some weathering on the engine cover, landing gear and sights. I forced a little because with the application of clear almost everything fades. Regards ajcmac

Cees From the Tamiya and Hasegawa instruction sheets is the color they indicate. I also saw several photos of the A6M5 (black and white) and they all have very dark landing gear that seems to be black. I also got this photos and the landing gear is black. The first is a kit. Regards ajcmac

I started painting the model. The engine cover. Landing gear. The propeller. The cockpit. Regards ajcmac

While I await the arrival of the paints for the model I have been preparing some pieces. The engine cover. The interiors. Fit test where everything seemed perfect. Regards ajcmac

Just arrived. The new Hasegawa model on 1/32. The Mitsubichi A6M5c. A bag with most sprues. A bag with engine parts and a figure. Decals and transparent parts. The version I'm going to build. I also bought Eduard's resin wheels, mask, and seatbelts. Regards ajcmac

Thanks Wumm. The curious thing is that Hasegawa in the presentation of the model shows the Hinomaru without the green border. Regards ajcmac

I intend to build the new Hasegawa model of the A6M5 zero 1/32 and paint the Hinomaru. They have two colors. The usual red and green border. Someone can tell me what color I should use to paint the green border. Thanks. Regards ajcmac

And after solving the paint problem of some parts, I finished the model. The missing image with the canopy glued and the engine doors removed. Thanks to all who visited and commented on this topic. Regards ajcmac

Thanks for ypur words To put the aileron in the lowered position I had to cut the insert and I ended up ruining the painting. Misfortune. I repainted. But this ? I do not know. Stupid, lack of attention, I do not know . Paint again. I just hope that the third time I'll get it right. Regards ajcmac

I applied mate clear. Flaps and ailerons are missing. An accident and I screwed up the painting. I've restarted the painting. Let's see if it works now. Regards ajcmac

Thanks coolboxx. This was a good weekend. I put the decals, applied a layer of gloss clear and a wash. Next step - mate clear. Regards Ajcmac

Finished painting. I've applied a layer of gloss cote. Ready for the decals. The engine doors are already weathered. I applied the wash on pieces that will not carry decals. Ready with the wash clean. Next step - the decals. Regards ajcmac

And the paint on the top of the fuselage is ready. Now the most complicated. The spots. Regards ajcmac

Thanks coolboxx . Regards ajcmac
