Eight shades for the aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy from the prewar years to 1945, in bottles of 17 ml.
Responsibility details are not available.
The aircraft carried aboard Japanese ships went through a marked change between the years of peace and the end of the war. Prewar and early machines were covered by a light gray-green finish, which after 1942 was replaced by dark green on the upper surfaces and gray underneath. Inside the airframe glowed the characteristic bluish protective layer called aotake, which can be seen in the landing gear bays and under an open canopy.
This is a range made mainly for an airbrush. The pigment is finely ground and the paint thinned so that it will pass even through a nozzle of around two tenths of a millimeter. Each of the eight bottles holds 17 ml.
Aotake is translucent and needs a glossy metallic base underneath it. Only over aluminum does it take on the right green-blue glow; on matte gray it looks like dirty blue. The green tones brighten noticeably in thin coats, so spray several times and lightly rather than once heavily. Japanese finishes faded quickly in the Pacific, but wear down to bare metal was found above all at the wing root, where the ground crew walked, and around the cockpit. The gray and the green can be mixed with each other to get intermediate steps for transitional periods. The aluminum tone serves not only for worn places but also as a glossy base under the blue layer, so the two bottles are often used one after the other and it pays to have two airbrushes ready for them, or at least enough time for flushing.
