Hey Nige 

 I've never had a problem with it. It seems to go down nice and smooth and drys fairly quick. I use all Vallejo paint, thinners and cleaners only. Hope this helps.

Thanks Mark, it's really tedious work about 5 hours of painting taking my time. I still have to do the instrument panel decals then final assembly of the pit.

Ok here are some update photos. I still need to do touch ups and add details.

The exhausts are galvanicly grown metal I belive they are from a company called REXx. They are the same process as the old Moskit stuff. I found them on scalemates. They are an exact match to the Tamiya parts. They also make them for alot of other planes.

So let me what you think

Thanks Ron. G

Took a break from the cockpit. I started on the pilot figure first coat of paint, I still need to add the detail painting and a wash then a flat coat.

I see it's been a while since you posted any progress on this one.  I just found it while researching the A6M3 Model 22, any progress in it?
