I have a 1/72 Hasegawa A6M5 Zero fighter Type 52… In the painting guide there are only Gunze Sangyo numbers… I have also all Model Master enamels for this plane: Interior metallic blue, deep yellow, IJN sky gray and IJN green… these last two colors are adequate for the camo?.. in the painting guide one of these are Green (Mitsubishi) and the other is 90% IJA green (Nakajima) + 10% Tan… about the cockpit interior color, in the painting guide is Green FS 34102… is it right?.. what about the metallic blue?.. about the cowling, in many photos, i’ve seen that is a very dark color, maybe black, but in the painting guide says “cowling color”, any suggest?.. and finally, the propeller, it seem like brown, but what kind of brown?.. in the painting guide is “propeller color”… the aircraft I want to build is from 653rd Flying Group Commander of Aircraft Carrier Zuikaku… This is my first Japanese aircraft build, so I want to make it the most accurate possible… thanks in advance
