Airfix Zero colours. I need a bit of help.

They both look good, but the the top side looks better, especially because it's not matt like mine.

I'm a bit late sorry, but the colour I used on my old Airfix Zero was Humbrol 28 matt, AKA 'camouflage grey'. This was closer to the early war IJN off-white colour than the Humbrol 90 'sky' that Airfix have for some reason put on your kit scheme. Hope this helps!

Here is a pic of my A6M2 Zero: Message - Scale Models Gallery

As Theuns said, the 90 is sky, commonly found on the undersides of early-war RAF aircraft.

I was in my local hobby craft tonight and they had the Tamiya xf 12 paint but they never had the acrylic thinner so i never bought the paint.

I thin my tamiya acrylics with isopro alcohol from the chemist and it works perfectly, and bets of all way cheaper than tamiya thinners.
