Absolutely - I've learned absolutely tons by discovering this site about the same time I went "Oh yeah, I used to like doing Airfix kits as a kid - let's have another go".

I'm not sure it's specifically your painting that needs work, actually - it looks more like the paint that's the problem. It's all transparent, looks more like an ink-wash. Taking a wild guess here, but did you use enamel paint and not stir the green?

Still, you've got all the bits in the right places, managed to get the decals on without mangling them and it looks like a Zero, so you can call that one a win.

I concur, I have learnt a lot by using this site and the users on here are very helpful indeed, your Zero as rightly pointed out looks like a Zero and therefore as a 1st attempt you should be proud of the fact. I would invest in some enamels or acrylics to undertake the next project to get away from the transparent look, but that of course depends on your budget.

There are guides to paint on the boxes or inside on the instructions regarding colours and all are available through John who set this site up, your local model store if there is one nearby or the good old internet

Overall a nice build and keep them coming

It was fun building it, i was actually using model master acrylic dark green pearl, i stirred it using a toothpick before painting, using 2 coats. I thought it turned out alright for my first time. I will build more models in the future.

Fair enough then. As you say, it turned out OK.
