Yokosuka paint colors

[mechanic]

Hello everyone!  Who can tell you what color the interior of the cockpit is from Yokosuka? And what color was the engine cook painted on the planes of this company?

The issue has been resolved.

And the answer is........................? I'm kinda curious myself actually.

Well, for that, you should read a little reflection by Cameron Lynch. But I totally agree with him. I think you've read it. And then you have to follow this link https://emmasplanes.com/index.php/paints/ijaaf-ijnas-colours-japan/#IJNAFIJAAF_Thorpe_system . Compare all this and draw a conclusion for yourself...You may not be mistaken in the color of the paint, but you can easily make a mistake in its tone, just like JAPAN))). Good luck, colleague!

Or here's another one. Japanese army air force camouflage and markings WW2 Donald W. Thorpe. There is also the First World War. This is a very informative publication. It's a pity that it's in black and white format.

From the model art 329 series Camouflage markings of imperial japanese army fighters. This is if you know Japanese...)))But everything is clear there even without language.

So, I found a lot for myself.

Here's more in the continuation of our topic: Aviation of Japan 日本の航空史: Vallejo IJN Colors Set ~ A Visual Appraisal & Commentary.

This is the name for Vallejo IJN  Colors Set paints. Although also, a controversial article. Maybe because I don't paint with Vallejo paints...)

Maybe someone makes Val D3A...

Part of the wingtip of D3A Val AII-254 piloted by Takezo Uchikado and accompanied by his Observer Katsuyoshi Tsuru that was shot down near Ironstone Knob near HMAS Coonawarra by AA fire on the 19th of Feb 1942. It become the first enemy aircraft to be drowned on Australian soil. Held at the War Memorial Canberra.
