Well this isn't a finished kit but I am working on it along with a 1/32 ICM Bücker Bü 131D. This one is Tamiyas 1/48 Bf-109. Also sorry for the absolutely TERRIBLE picture quality. Maybe I shouldn't take pictures in front of a bright ass window, but I didn't have anywhere else to do it.


I also have no clue how to do this on mobile or at all really so i do not know why theres an attachment

Nice. The issue with the photo is that you are shooting against a bright window. No idea why you have one showing as an attachment but it's not uncommon.

Well,I don't really have anywhere else to do it: my "room" doesn't really have any room left. Its completely taken over by random stuff and models. And apart from that, Ive never been good with taking pictures.
 
I think the attachment gets included if you hit "Post reply" button before the photo has fully uploaded. It will also be included if you delete the original photo by back spacing instead of clicking the "Delete" button in the "Attach Files" section. This is the one that gets me a bit. If you want to get rid of it. click the "Edit" button and delete it. You may lose your first photo as well but now you can reload it without the thumbnail
 
Ill probably retake the pictures anyways because only after I posted did I realize how terrible they look. Wont be doing it in front of a window from now on . You live and you learn. Sometimes
 
Too late for favourites but it is one of my favourite aircraft

I've pulled down my Tamiya 1:72 A6M2b from the shelf-o-stuff; with 20 degree (F) weather in normally coolish central Texas I'm having more build time than expected. Not being able to get to the local hobby shop to pick up my GB49 build paints I have resorted to building this one. Tamiya suggests using their AS-29 as fusalage color. I don't do sprays, only air brushing Tamiya acrylics. I have looked and not found anyone suggesting an 'XF' equivalent. Looking through my Tamiya collection I find a XF-14, J. A. Grey, which looks very close to the AS-29. What did you use to paint this, by the way excellent, model?
 
Thank you. And Wayne, I guess? I did what I should have done at first. I went to the Tamiya website and keyed in Gray Green for a color search. AS-29 came up as well as their XF-76. I have that as well. Comparing it to the XF-14, which I thought looked close, but not quite right, is a bit more greenish. I'll look at the references you have given. Thanks again.

Oh, by the way, you can keep the Canadian air to yourselves. Did everyone open their freezer doors at once?? 6 degrees F (not sure what that is in Canadian?) for 3 straight days along with a freezing fog has (is) taking its toll on the trees here. The live oaks keep their leaves throughout the winter and are suffering much with the ice that is forming on them. Plenty of firewood come next year though!
 
Ralph,
For what it's worth, I built a Hasegawa Rufe and wanted an accurate color. The IJN aircraft out of the factory had this color-https://www.amazon.com/MISSION-MODELS-Hal-IRO-Japanese-MMP-107/dp/B07BVXFBS8
It faded to the lighter color (mistakenly gray/white, I think). So it matters as to how new your build is meant to look. I had some correspondence with a Nick Millman. He seemed to have done extensive research on the type of paint used by Mitsubishi and Nakajima. He recommended the Mission Models color referenced above.
The Zero 21 at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio has this color too.
I mean no disrespect to Brother Wayne (I don't know what he might say anyway).
