The 1/48 Hasegawa aichi val was reboxed by Revell Tim , if you can track one of these down they usually go a fair bit cheaper

Actually Eduard has all their instructions on their website, rasterised so you can zoom in.
I eventually worked that out Tony, and I’ve looked, but I can’t find one……

Good site that. Somewhere on there it says the Zero colour was based on the RLM 02 that the Heinkel 112s supplied to Japan were painted……

A bit OT, but how old is that site if it uses 8.3 filenames …? Oh, and an HTML 2.0 
Anyway …
DOCTYPE declaration Anyway …
I know, beware what you put on the internet and all that........A bit OT, but how old is that site if it uses 8.3 filenames …? Oh, and an HTML 2.0DOCTYPEdeclaration
But until I buy Nicholas Millmans “Painting the Early Zero-Sen, A Primer for Modellers & Artists” it's the best I have.
Though I've found this too, don't know why I'm looking, I have the paints bought......

Oh, I still have pages up somewhere from before doctypes were even a thing
But yeah, that site looks like it’s a very good resource. I’ve got the URL of another site with good info on Japanese colours saved somewhere, but I’m not at my computer so I can’t post it just now.
I’m in Andy found this place finally like the new paint smell odd color though I’ll dig in the stash and get one probably a old Hasegawa kit 1/72.
Sorry for the delay in replying Lee..
Great to have you along
Whatever scale doesn't really matter mate...
.. unless you ask me to do something in 1/72nd !!
There's certainly a few GBs coming up that will be very interesting , so I'm very pleased to see you joining this one too !

I have no idea how that must affect you,I just wish you all the best Mate,

Thanks Andrew I’m glad to be here it’s been awhile since I built a Japanese aircraft I have lots of Hasegawa in the stash and I built a Starter truck many years ago that I might put with my build.
