Reisen which pilot Japanese impregnate ace Tetsuzo Iwomoto on the whole shot down perhaps 70 aeroplanes

Very nice looking Zeke (Zero).

Archie,

Your job is nice but I doubt about the colours...
For the "orange" Zeros, they looked greener to me according to the research I've done and read on the subject.
My result is this :

Which is certainly not 100% correct but much closer to the artifacts I've seen of Pearl Harbour Reisen.

The green looks also lighter than I expected it. Here's mine :


If needed, I can send you the RVB mix or CMJN.

In advance smooth over but I don't know English use translator. You're right UF_Shoki ,but extract corroborative rule how it is said at our place in Bohemia,zero from Zuikaku is painted special application colour "ame iro" which is special application against incidence sea atmosphere has have aureate orange touch.alternative zero would to me wash same paint.zero a6m3 model 22a would to me wash green colour which have been using on technology or which stained uniforms and with mixed with varnish or stick .this information am got from story on Japanese aviation here in czech. However to one's cost.
As though cannot use recipe as such. Others manufacturers colours weather conditions atd.mám in collection some original material after wermacht
and from shadows European yellow is any other

If you're interested in japanese aircraft, have a look there : J Aircraft.com
There are some well done articles about the Zero colors. You shall enjoy them. I started from these article to "paint" my Zeros. The articles are often based on artifacts or relics from A6M2 downed around Pearl Harbour, at the time of the so called "Ame iro" ;).
I'll send you soon the RVB tint.

From Japanese magazine burindo about zero

Archie,

I recommend you to read this article on J-aircraft : Zero Camouflage Schemes
Very interesting.
And here's a picture of an artifact of the A6M2 mod.21 crashed on Ni'Ihau island following the Pearl Harbour attack :

You can see the greenish hue of this aircraft part.

I agree with you how arbovitae looked near pearl harbor .please you no higher if also subsisted winter Japanese disguise?

Japanese did not use winter camouflage scheme for their aircraft in the Navy.
For instance, the units based in the Northern areas of the Empire, near Russia or in the Aleutians archipelago, were still painted green above and grey or nmf underside.
There were confusion in the past as the color was estimated from japanese texts and not from "artifacts" or pieces of real aircraft.
The term "ameiro" wasn't correctly translated too as this term in japanese could stand for at least two different shade : caramel and ash grey.
