Tamiya kit lists red/brown as the prop/spinner color, this does not look right, anyone know the Tamiya/Gunze paint color for the Zero's prop/spinner?

Michael,

Red Brown is correct for a late war Zero. Early War Zeros (~ mid 1942, don't recall the exact date) would have been left in polished aluminum with the back side of the prop blades in either red/brown or flat black. The Tamiya reference number is XF-64 for the red brown colour that they produce.
