Jure Miljevic Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi Nick I know my wish list would materialize in circumstances, predicted only by druids and Nostradamus. I interpreted your advice as a ˝fabric had been painted mostly silver, but sometimes also gray-green and today it is difficult to determine, which is which˝. Is this correct?

Nick Millman Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 FWIW I wouldn't say "mostly" silver - instead just silver or grey-green - but otherwise yes and it is difficult to determine from photos! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Word ˝mostly˝ deleted from a mental note in my brains. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Gah! Thanks guys...struggling to not start a new section in my stash for WW2 Japanese aircraft and frankly about to give in. ☺ Have to say that ok ultimately many Japanese designs wouldn't have made much difference to the outcome of the war, they had a certain purity of design that is pleasing to the eye...to me anyway.

Peter Lloyd Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I invested a fair bit of wedge in the Eduardo Cea series on Japanese aircraft. I'm not sure as to his credibility but he states that the early war 'ash grey' was a clear primer, which turned yellow, over grey paint. (Don't worry Nick- I have a few of yours too!). I think the Jpanese did lose their 262 at Singapore but an engineer flew ahead with the drawings (or was that the Me163?). Their late-war plane designs were good but they lacked the industrial technology to build reliable big-power engines, turbos etc. They were very reliant on the US for machine tools before the embargo and I don't think they ever made up the ground.

Er, I'm not worried, thanks. I'm not the one being led up the garden path! Nick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
