GeorgeUSN Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Gents: I recently purchased Tamiya's 1/48 G4M Betty (Operation Vengeance) which came with a figure of Admiral Yamamoto and Imperial Japanese Navy Aviation Ground Crew. The kit instructions provide recommendations for the paint colors for them I am dubious as the accuracy of the instructions. I recall Admiral Yamamoto wearing IJN officer tropical greens before he passed. Also, the instructions recommend a mix of Tamiya XF-1 and XF-57 for some of the ground crew. The Osprey books are useful not helpful as to the hobby paint colors for Admiral Yamamoto and the IJN Aviation Ground Crew. I am looking for recommendations for hobby paint colors by serial number from any paint line I could use for their uniforms. I don't have any issues with the paint colors for the pilots. Thanks. All the best, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
