Mr. Hobby hit the mark with their H125 Cowling Color. Just the right hint of blue in the black. It also makes nice IJAAF and IJN anti-glare strips.

The toothpick pick-and-place cheat is a fantastic idea.
Great video great result!

Gratuliere, Sie haben die Chipping und Washing Technik perfekt erklärt. Die Teile sind wunderschön gemacht. Ich denke die Alterungen und Abnützungen wirken wie das Original - die Grundfarben sind immer noch klar erhalten. Ihre Modellbau Videos gehören zu den besten auf RUclips veröffentlichen Beiträgen! 👍💯

Who needs a mandrel for curved bends? Round objects are everywhere.

The Zero was the first Japanese warplane made with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy. The aircraft manufacturers went further with anti-corrosion treatment by spraying Aotake dope on all bare parts, Mitsubishi and Nakajima green for all engine bay and cockpit structures, and a hideous red-oxide on the fuselage, with the exception of fabric-covered flight surfaces.

(Slaps forehead) Mr. Neo Sol on a toothpick as a detail handling tool. Oh well, I already got my Squadron Shop wax parts pencils.

[@Bob-b7x6v]

Did you know the Kasei radial was heavily influenced by the Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasp?

[@Model_Addict]

I had no idea about this.😅 Good point. I've learned something new again.😁👍
