dalea Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Would you be able to provide a list of the way these have changed over time. For example, I have quite a few ACJ18s labelled Interior Olive Green, one labelled Mitsubishi Interior Green, the latest one to arrive is labelled Nakajima Amber Grey (Ameiro). I assume the paint inside is the same but Japanese colours are hard enough without the changing names. I'm sure the latest names are more accurate but it gets confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi, The names were changed with guidance from Nick Millman. The old names were at best misleading and at worst preventing sales because there was little way of tying up any half-way decent sources of references with the old names or, if one did, it was more likely than not that a drastically wrong conclusion would be reached. Some colours were simply wrong or non-typical of real colours so we dropped them. The new names below should be much simpler for the user to reconcile with good quality resources such as Nick's "Aviation of Japan" blog and j-aircraft.com. Hope this helps!
