ZERO
Scale: 1/32
Manufacturer: Tamiya
Parts used: Out Of The Box
Main paints used: Tamiya and Gunze

In part eight, it’s time to get the color on the Zero, I know there is a lot written about the color call-outs from Tamiya but I’m sticking the what Tamiya are saying and using there Color of Tamiya’s XF-71, so following on from the primmer coat we put down a smooth coat with Rapid drying thinners and after playing with the ratios end up thinning the paint around 20-25% paint to 75-80% thinners. We also make a custom mix for the Nose black color with Satin Black and dark Iron buffable.
