RFW Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I saw this unique take on a Zero on the Hyperscale website (https://www.hyperscale.com/2022/galleries/a6m348cp_1.htm) and I am considering building one myself. The issue I have is that I cannot find any images, or instructions which give me the details of the color scheme for the underside of the plane. I have looked around for a link so I can contact the kit builder, but I've come up empty in that regard as well. Does anybody out there have any info about this interesting version of the Zero? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) The underside would be typical grey (N-1? , J-1 from memory) but it’s anyone’s guess if the white continued underneath or not, lacking any photographs.

Scale32 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi, email Brett Green at Hyperscale he should have the builder's details for contact. Hth. Cheers Bevan LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAG Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 It's one of the decal options in the new 1/48 Eduard Zero, here's the relevant page from the instructions. Here's a recent build using these exact markings, James @LPJ does some fine work. Hope that helps! - Thomaz LSP_K2, Uncarina and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 The Eduard sheet isn’t the same aircraft. The posted decal sheet is applicable to an A6M2 model 21 whereas the linked zero is an A6M3 Model 22/22a. Tail markings are different as well.

RFW Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Wow! Thanks much for the quick answers to my question! To add a little more info, I looked at the pix on Hyperscale and the wing tips almost appear to be white as opposed to the usual light grey, hence my question. I have sent a note over to Brett, so perhaps I can get "definitive" info from the builder. Thanks again for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’m intrigued by that oddball scheme. Are there any pictures that back up the Eduard instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFW Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Does anybody have any photos of the real A6M3 by Christos P (shown here)? I'd like to see the actual plane, but I can't find an image of it anywhere. Any advice will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
