Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 With our eternal thanks to the ever patient and obliging Nick Millman, we have updated our ACJ17 Nakajima "Ame Iro" colour, which for a while has been known to be a bit too dark and a bit too saturated. The out going ACJ17 wasn't too bad, but a bit too stark. It's measured colour values render in RGB like this: With more representative values provided by Nick, the Nakajima colour should (and now does :)) look a little lighter and washed out compared to the old colour: The updated colour has been manufactured, and over the next week or so will be tinned and on sale. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 What would a model-painting lad use this fine product to recreate in miniature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 The base colour of a Nakajima B5N Kate would be a good start The Kate would have been painted this colour all over, and the green upper surface camouflage was painted on top. When the green is shown heavily worn off in period photographs, I understand it's this fairly robust factory base colour that would showing through, rather than bare aluminium - like our mutual friend Stew Dapple's Kate build which I've borrowed a photo of from the RFI thread: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
