Once again nobody seems to agree on what color these airplanes were, I
did some research and finally concluded that I might as well just go
with the mixture in the instructions, most of
which is Khaki. The
proper Japanese name is hai-ryoku-shoku. Apparently it was glossy at
first but weathered rapidly to more of a lighter grey. And that's all I
have to say on that.
Another great Hasegawa kit. Another 4 hours
masking and painting canopy segments.
