Hi, guys,
I'm having a problem.
Does somebody know what colors exactly has Mitsuo Fushida's B5N2 during the attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941?
Some sources talk about green upper surfaces and metallic under surfaces, other sources talk about light grey under surfaces and green upper surfaces, and finally, other sources talk about a metallic airplane with some red parts on the tail.
Who is right?
Jose
jtojarom, would prefer if you put your name...here's my take on Japanese Pearl Harbor colors: this has changed many times since I've been back in the hobby, which is eight years. Here are the colors that at this point are acceptable:
Amerio - this can be replicated with the German color RLM02 with a touch of green
Polyscale Concrete with a touch of green
Model Master SAC Bomber Tan 90%, Zinc Chromate Green 9%, Flat White 1%
Tamiya makes a new color: XF-76 which is very close to the above 3
If you use all 4 of these colors and spray them they come out real close. Hope this helps you. BTW, this is the whole plane, these planes were not two-toned. The tail color depends on which ship he flew off of.
