A6M2 saburo sakai, Tainan air group, Denpasar base Bali island February 1942

Tamiya 1/48 scale brush painted using vallejo acrylics.
just one question should i leave it gloss or should i flat coat it ?
some of my referances say gloss but pictures Wayne posted from melborne 2009 expo of similar paint schemes look like a matt finish

Karl the finish should be glossy. The problem is not many know the correct finish for the early Zero.

The image below should help....

i thought about entering it Dan but i didnt think i would get it finished in time so i only took a few pictures of the build in progress

alltough i'm quite happy with my two entries already i'll enter it with the 5 or 6 pics i've got if the judges think thats enough work in progress shots ?

thanks for the kind words guys, i appreciate them all.

Nice work Karl, obviously 1/48th scale seems to suit you mate! Can't see why you can't enter it anyway, given there's some pics at least.
