kuya Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 tnx for all the help guys...never knew a Zero's cockpit was very simple to paint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kuya Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 well since I now have some photo reference for the cockpit...I also would like to ask some help....the kit I got is in dark green plastic...would the ijn gray green stand out if I paint it on the undersides? I was actually thinking of base coating if with flat aluminum and maybe do some salt weathering when applying the green on the uppersides...I'm afraid that the gray green might not show because of the dark green plastic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
