| 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.... Image source Famous Aircraft of the World A6M Zero Part 1.

| 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.
