I'm a modeler from Shanghai China
and it's nice to meet you. Here's some details about my model. The
original 1/48 Hasegawa kit (#09407) offers several painting plans of IJN-green
which served in Rabaul. But as I'd like to make a more impressing and
representative Type 22, I chose to convert it into the ZERO flown by the
famous IJN ace, Hiroyoshi Nishizawa, in Rabaul in 1943.

As almost all of the
decals
are useless for the painting plan,
I painted "UI-" and all the "Hinomaru" except the
number "105". I added brake lines by nylon fishing line and
painted the body with Mitsubishi IJN-grey(Mr.Color #35). As for the green,
I asked many friends that what kind of it was used on the plane for
the emergency camouflage, the answer leaded to be FS34092(Mr.Color #302).
The kit is very well detailed and
I didn't pay more time to up-grade it. As the plane was used in Rabaul
which should be a quite nasty environment, I weathered it
roughly. After all that, I washed it with brown oil colors thinned with
Zippo oil. You're welcome to communicate with me and my e-mail address is mophy@citiz.net.
