Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know what the paint schemes for Zeros fighting around borneo 1944.
I'm trying to do a spitfire from 457 sqd Raaf vs a zero.

Thanks in advance.

G'day Az.

I think that the A6M5 that I'm building for the Osprey Duel Campaign has markings you might be interested in. It's the Hasegawa 1/48 kit here . . .



I will check tonight and confirm.

Cheers, D

Ok Az, we have colour schemes for the following aircraft:

June 1944 - Saipan
February 1944 - Rabaul
March 1944 - Toyohashi (Japan)
September 1944 - Phillipines (carrier Zuikaku)

The colour call-outs are for Gunze paints and are all mixed from 2 or 3 base colours.

If you think they will help, PM me your email address and I will try to scan the instructions and send them to you.

Cheers, D
