Anthony in NZ Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Ok gents, some quick questions I need help here.... This is a Mitsubishi built machine Firewall, Aotoke Blue ? Undercarriage bays =underside grey? Cowl interior? This was a land based machine, would it have had the well for the tailhook or faired over? Rear decking behind cockpit=Mitsi Black/blue colour? Flap bays=Aotoke Blue? Any answers to these questions would be awesome Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuky76 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Hi Anthony there are some answers for your questions: Undercarriage bays - should be the same colour (Hairyokushoku) as the lower camouflage. The cockpit decking - should be painted black/blue colour, close to FS 15042. Cowling - outside/inside the same black/blue colour close to FS 15042. Firewall - Aotake Mirek Edited January 4, 2015 by kuky76 KiwiZac and Kagemusha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ha, found it now. This will keep everything honest that's for sure. I think I'm going to have to open some panels now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hi guys....sorry another question. What colour would the prop be do you reckon? I cant tell from those black and white photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Lapin Mal Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Looking at Mals build I realised I had not updated this one in a long time. So I quickly snapped a pic of her in the cabinet to show she is about ready to paint. I have scratched a new firewall and inner u/c bits.....must finish this one day. Especially since the hard conversion work is now done and all the resin bits are in... Oh Plasticsurgeon, it is a Mitsubishi built plane Cheers Anthony EDIT: forgot to attach pic! Slightly off topic, but is that an HKGFS Plaque in your display case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hi guys....sorry another question. What colour would the prop be do you reckon? I cant tell from those black and white photos. It should be brown on the backside... I got a link from Mirek, (LSP Kuky76) on a thread that discuss this on my build thread and there is great pics. http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=85149&start=135 /Mal Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yeah that's right - natural metal front (with two red stripes) and brown back side to avoid blinding the pilot Very very nice work ! KiwiZac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thanks guys, that is all great info! However my machine has dark blades so I was thinking very dk brown(almost black) with yellow stripes? Mal, that looks like a great thread, I am going to go and have a decent look soon...thank you. Thomas, thanks for the compliment, it has been on the shelf of doom for a long time. The Airfix Mosquito was getting intense with riveting the ailerons so I needed a change of scenery. Le Lapin Mal, youe mate you have got great spotting skills! I am rebuilding ex RHKAAF/HKGFS Auster WE552/HKG-4 to fly. She has suffered badly at the hands of vandals, weather and would be restorers over the years but she is now way back on track to being in full airworthy health again. She has been a ground up rebuild to stock military config. Still a long way to go but I am making good steady consistent progress. I would love to get the fuse fabriced next year some time. My bird was regularly flown by Sir Adrian Swire and SQN Ldr Ross Penlington. Adrian gave me his pilots notes and Val (Ross's widow) gave me his pilots notes and several other bits n pieces. Now you can see why it takes me so long to progress on model planes! Cheers guys Anthony KiwiZac and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
