One can never have enough! Please share. Books on the zero are few and far between actually. The first book that I posted above, I had to pay $90 for and that was used. It's been out of print for several years, but it is the one that I would suggest to anyone if they're doing a zero build. It covers all models of A6M up to the end of the war(A6M7 variant). It also provides three views of every variant, as well as quite a few really nice color profiles.

Used Medium hingepins to (temporarily) mount the flaps, 4 per side. I get really nice deflection with these! I'll mount them as soon as I get the internal bays painted. I'm waiting on paint at the moment, it should be here this week. I'll use a coat of silver, followed by Tamiya clear blue then Tamiya clear green to achieve what I'm looking for

That's too funny, Casey!! I bought a 6 can "short case'' of that very same color for my Zero and then decided on the camo pattern that I ended up with. Now we have several Fossil colored wicker baskets and bird bath in that color because my wife can't stand to see an interesting color rattle can just lay about.....
I'm glad I'm not the only one who though that this color was a near perfect match for the IJA Cream/tan.

Thanks Chad!
I have to admit, I'm pretty happy with the way this thing is turning out... Hard to believe it started off its life as a CMP ARF
The weather finally cooperated and I was able to get the top of the wing painted this morning.
