Key Data ~ Raiden Colour Notes


Further to the blog on 'A Gaggle of Old Jacks and Random Thoughts', a pdf on the subject of Raiden colours is now available for those who expressed an interest. Raiden Colour Notes consists of 10 pages with nine colour chips and explanatory notes, the first of Aviation of Japan's new 'Key Data' guides designed to assist modellers and artists with basic but essential information.



Available on request free but with donation appreciated, thank you.

Hi Nick,

The Key Data Guides are a great idea! I've received the Raiden Colour Notes and it will help considerably when I build my Sword Raiden later this year. I'm looking forward to additional guides in the series.

Cheers,
Bill

Got mine, and it's wonderful. As Bill noted, this will come in very handy, and I greatly look forward to more.

It would be nice to add Gunze and Tamiya color numbers too :)

A great idea--and one of my favorite aircraft to start the series off! I already have my copy in hand and it is excellent. Hope there are many more to come.

Hi Straggler,
I´m interested about knowing the main colors used in the cockpit and landing gears of WWII Japanese planes. Is there any source with nice intel abut it?

Thanks a lot.

Straggler 脱走兵 said...

Yes, this blog and its publications! ;-)

Search and ye shall find! And if you can't find it's probably on its way at some point. If you are impatient for a particular type email me.

Regards
Nick

Hi Nick

Just doing my first Japanese plane and stumbled across your most excellent blog. Starting it safe and simple with the venerable Tamiya Raiden kit.

Could I have a copy of your Raiden Colour Notes?

Happy to make a small donation.
