FS NOTES FOR JAPANESE AIRCRAFT, 1935-1945.
by Peter James
I have been looking at the browns, with a view to the Ki61 & Ki46 models which i intend to build. My initial findings are as follows; FS30049 A11 Dark brown: Best match Xtracolour X382 Chocolat. This is for the Ki61 illustrated in "Broken Wings of the Samurai" & also in the latest Hasegawa kit as well as the Superscale sheet. FS30109 A12 Brown: Aeromaster AMD9096.
FS30117 Air Force brown: Xtracolour X2, RAF dark earth with 1" of bright red from an eye dropper added to a complete tin. FS30400 A14 Light earth. (Presumably this is the colour used as a disruptive scheme in the early IJN finishes pre WWII?: AMD9094. Hope these few notes are of use to you.
