Naval paint. I'm not upset at all. Not one little bit. It is very interesting what you guys are saying about the paint and the ships and times and whatnot. It's all really very interesting. But to tell you the truth? I wouldn't know a Pearl Harbor plane from a plane on Guadalcanal. I don't know the difference from the two manufacturers other than Maybe exhaust placement. And yes, the Grays I quoted from the arsenals are too dark. A good gray I think for the underside of Japanese planes is Sky Gray xf19. The way I paint at this present time? That's pretty close. Yes that color looks really close. Sold. Maybe in a couple years I'll get into the art of the exact copy but I am not that good yet. At this stage in my modeling attempts if it looks good to me and almost like the real thing that's pretty good in my book. Besides, my dog doesn't know the difference between a land-based aircraft and a ship-based aircraft and my wife might glance at it once and say that looks nice. I'm just having fun building models and painting them to where I think they look good. Maybe down the road when I get a lot better I can start building close to Historic realism
