Boxings are D21, D23 and D26 Hi Stu, As I think I mentioned elsewhere in this GB, back in the days when White Ensign made the Colourcoats range of paints they had at least 4 IJN greens - Mitsubishi, Nakajima and Kawanishi together with generic Black Green (or is it Green/Black?). and so I used them as appropriate - the Kate I posted on your Kate build was in the "Nakajima" shade - the White Ensign Mitsubishi green was a bit lighter than the Nakajima one, which in turn was a bit lighter than the bog standard black/green. Since Sovereign took over the paint range their research has it seems dismissed the manufacturer based variations and so standard Black Green will probably be fine on the Kate etc. As to the grey undersurfaces, again White Ensign had a few variations, but I think the Nakajima Ameiro amber grey may have been used on all the IJN aircraft at Pearl Harbor according to a series of articles in Scale Aircraft Modelling International - AFAIK Sovereign Colourcoats only sell "Mitsubishi" light grey, Ameiro and Mitsubishi Zero Grey Green, but I am sure Stew will know. As I mentioned in my Judy build, the Tamiya JNAF Green and the Gunze one are both slightly different - the Tamiya one being slightly lighter as I recall. I guess that like JAAF the colour did vary a bit depending on which company made it and so on. Pete Edited May 13, 2022 by PeterB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless @trickyrich overrules me, I'd say close enough. Go ahead and set up a build thread and let 'er rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Can I join in with this one if I promise to do it as an F-15J? It seems a fun project and just what I need to restore some modelling mojo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 somehow managed to edit a question into a replyon my own thread rather than here, for a Kate is the grey the darker J3 Sp or the regular paler J3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Was chatting w/ Rich about the eggplanes earlier, for gallery submission we are going to classify them as "anime/manga" due to the caricature nature. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Quick question about Japanese interior colors ? Yes I know and all. Kawasaki Ki.32 Mary interior colors, anyone care to give me a best guess or if you have any info to share. I have an vacu-form kit and I will need to scratch-build the interior as well as paint whats visible under the greenhouse. So any info would be helpful.

trickyrich Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Ok fear not I'm back!!! No I haven't abducted aliens or a tribe of Amazonian women...... I wish! No just the unglamorous away in the outback with work then back tomorrow work dramas! In between I have made some progress on my builds...very slowly, but I have noticed some huge progress on lots of builds here. I'll slowly catch up on all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Hi, The accessories for the Tamiya 1/72 A6M2B "Zero fighter" are here. Just Eduard superfabric seatbelts and canopy masks. Freaking tiny glasshouse made me spend some more cash. Scheduled to land on the bench next week. If @Enzo Matrix has no objection against another Pearl Harbor Zero landing here, I'll stick with one of the "out of the box" schemes instead of the planned captured plane in US Navy colours. Also, my apologies to @trickyrich for changing my mind again. Happy modelling "with a Japanese flavor" to all. Pat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Picking away on my F-4 STGB entry, which would also apply this GB if I wasn't so far along. Though one could probably argue that decals are 75% of a Phantom build. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapteenipirk Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Feel like if i don't join in with something anime related ill be very crossed at myself. So, i hope it's not too late to join. Im just wondering tough, and this isn't mentioned in the rules, is 3D-printed stuff fine. What i have planned, and unfortunately bout the only thing that would fit the criteria, i would 3D-model/print myself. And yes, with crew and all, in 1/16 scale. It won't be RC compatible tough. Should be doable in a couple months, and should also serve as a great way to test my new printer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
