Hello all,
I’m from Finland, far north of Europe. I just came back to modeling after a few years. Back then I was just a little boy and seldom got any models truly finished, only assembled.

Now, I’m building the A6M5 Zero-Sen by Revell (I don’t have enough money for a Tamiya). It looks it’s going to be my best one yet and I’m working on some subtle weathering too. What makes my model interesting is that I don’t use the regular green-grey paint model, but a green-orange.

The paint is based on a training version of an A6M2 model. Nobody knows for sure whether or not this orange-bottomed paint model was ever used on an A6M5.

I’ll post up some pics as soon as it’s finished.

Zeb

Welcome to the forum, glad to have another person here!

If I understand this correctly you are doing the right right thing for a trainer version of the A6M5.
P.S. I have an article about this somewhere in this pile of aviaton magazines[:D]
