Ian, many thanks fella  . Steve, much obliged sir . Pete, appreciated ole chap . I must say that till now the VMS masking fluid has been a bit of a pain, but this time it worked a treat  . Realizing that I had forgotten to add the yellow leading edges to the Zeros wings  , I did some tricky masking and sprayed them on  . Next time these will defo go on first and masked off before the rest of the paint job .  |

I painted the yellow leading edge on the tiffy after the camo but before the decal invasion stripes, I find it easier to mask the outer after rather than cover up the yellow if that makes any sense at all |

Looks great, Paul. Glad there were no masking mishaps with the add-on. Once again, that is a fantastic scheme.
Regards,
Ian

Steve, Ian, cheers muckers . As for the masking thing, well I dunno really. I suppose this could be the easier way as you don't have to worry about any screw ups along the way. It's just a a tad annoying when you forget these things from the start . I didn't risk using anything else but Tamiya tape for this , I have masked with other tape before on other builds and then lost some paint with it. |

Hi chaps, today I finished the Zero off . The final bits I did were these: Painted the AM MG's Painted the prop Added the antenna and wire (wire is from Mig and should be used rigging in 1/700 Painted and added the air-to-air missiles (not sure if the colours are correct, couldn't find any ref on these) Added the landing gear Added a little weathering in form of smoke stains only. These were sprayed onto the gun ports and along the sides of the fuselage behind the exhausts         I hope you all likes the end result . Also, I must again thank Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for their support in answering the cockpit colour question . As always ACACW. |
