Here’s a tip for anyone using cans to paint models or whatever. Instead of putting the cans in hot water for a while to ginger up the propellant and make the paint flow nicely I bought an electric coffee warmer pad. Mine runs off mains but there’s usb versions too, and generally less than the price of one paint aerosol. Sit the can on the warmer for a few minutes it gets nice and warm (limited to 65C) and the paint agitator works as soon as you shake the can and the paint spray’s beautifully. Works great now, even more useful in the colder seasons. cheers Will

Concerning building IJN aircraft's like the Airfix or Tamiya A6M2b Zero it seems to be an simple and quick build by using Tamiya AS colours (spraycans). https://www.emodels.co.uk/tamiya-as-29-gray-green-100ml-spray-can-86529.html So what about the Tamiya AS 29 Greygreen? Is it usefull as an alternativ to for example Humbrol Hu 91 wich is also available as spraycan (concerning Airfix Zero)? https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/mitsubishi-a6m2b-zero-1-72-1.html Not much has been written about the Tamiya AS snd DT paints. But I like them and have used the silver and aluminium AS and ST paints a lot during building NMT aircraft's as the Airfix and Tamiya P-51D Mustang. I also tried the Humbrol spraycans with good results combined with the Tamiya AS and TS paints. Albeit there aren't that many colours available from Humbrol (mostly RAF colours). But the cans are bigger and cheaper than the Tamiya cans. Cheers / André
