IJN Ash Grey AV71311 - described as the colour for " most embarked aircraft" and in use until 1942/43 it is compared to FS 36350, therefore close to the Mitsubishi Zero early factory colour, albeit just a little darker and browner than the FS value. The Deep Dark Green is dodgy for reasons beyond the scope of this blog feature but Kawanishi Shiden and Shiden-kai colours were explored here in February and May, 2010, including interiors, but the subject is by no means as straightforward as any confidence in hobby paint sets might suggest! A Shiden colours PDF is scheduled for the AoJ Key Data colour series. The Vallejo colours dry matt which adds to this perception, but they do become slightly richer in appearance with a gloss coat. The subject is explored in more detail in the AoJ IJN Greens PDF.
