I still hadn't decided...Japanese Zero or so called Akutan Zero, repainted blue gray/light gray with US markings and tested in Anacostia.

Luv the weathering on the seat and the sharp details.

Painting is almost finished...

And that's it

Of course, not without small disaster in the end - due to high humidity decals stuck into bottom of box so I had to use self-made masks. Surprisingly - nailed it

Thank you. I'm using Taft hairspray. First of all, aluminium overcoat l, then hairspray in few layers from airbrush and finally grey/green. Then I wet surface with water. Hairspray coat dissolving and I can remove paint where I want to. I prefer hairspray than chipping medium because its more controllable.

Man, this looks great!  I like how you used an old kit that is considered inferior to the Tamiya kit but made it shine.
