Silver Fox Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I really like the wear and tear, just enough to be noticeable but not over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Millman Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 one thing to remember is Japanese colours are a minefield there was no standardisation like RLM/BS/FS..Andy. Er, (nice model) but not true. The Navy had ‘Kaigunkokukiyo Toryu Shikibetsu Hyojun, Kariki 117 Bessatsu’ (Imperial Japanese Navy Headquarters Paint Identification Standard for Naval Aircraft, Supplement to Provisional Regulation 117) with paint colour standard swatches. The Japanese Army had Aircraft Material Standards promulgated in the Rikugun kokuki tosou kitei (陸軍航空機塗装規程 - Army aircraft painting regulations) with paint colour standard swatches. These documents and their paint swatches survive in Japan today. Variation was introduced into the process by the aircraft manufacturing industry constraints of having to procure paint locally and the shortage of some raw materials which created the necessity to adapt or modify paint formulae during the war. Not much different from other nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
