Thanks for the info on colours.

Japanese aircraft colours is a complex subject, I was just looking for info so I knew what had been used, as the colour seems good to me, and I have the starter set to begin making today.

May well experiment with some paint chipping effects, although the Pearl Harbour aircraft would have been fairly good nick on that fateful day, so may model it as a newish aircraft.

Nice - I've got one of these on the go at the moment, also in IJN Grey. I couldn't agree more with the comment above - 'Japanese aircraft colours is a complex subject'. I've had the contents of that particular can of worms sloshing around in my head for a while now.
