AnonymousAA74 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Ay'up, Which Tamiya Zero kit in 1/32 is the equivalent of their new Spit kit? There seem to be two kits listed and roughly the same price: This one and THIS ONE Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James- both kits are very similar- They are of similar stature to the Spitfire- but in themselves -although Zero shaped- they are from opposite ends of the Zero spectrum- the first to the last, and as such, the wings engine armament and so on are all different- but basically, both are produced to the same standard.

desmojen Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 What Mental said, they are both of the same standard. You just choose whether you prefer green or grey Jen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousAA74 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 I think I likes the grey one. Mmmmm, you gotta love a Zero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 What Mr Guru said... I can only ad that the earlier one was later - and the later one earlier! Sorry - meant that the A6M2b was the more recent of the two kits - and is, possibly, slightly nicer! I've built the Lights Sound Action version of the A6M5 (as many who have had to put up with it at Telford in recent years will testify) and can report it is a corker. Even with all the electronic gubbins - mine only took three days to build. Must crack on the the A6M2b - I hear Hawaii calling me! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Ogilvie Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Either of them are a real treat James - I'm just a little biased towards the earlier variant. Tamiya do pots of paint for the specific grey - which isn't a pure grey... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve N Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) For specifics on Zero colors, visit the gurus over at j-aircraft. The overall gray is actually more of a light tan with a slight greenish cast. At their suggestion I used Gunze RLM 02 on a 1/72 A6M2 and was quite pleased with the result.
