This consolidated the former separate IJN and IJA paint colour standards and allocated new designations to them. The first digit identifies the group of colours - e.g. 1 = greens and 2 = greys, whilst the second digit identifies the specific colour within that series.<br /><br />1-1 replaced # 7 (yellow green # 7) which had been specified for the factory painting of Army aircraft from June 1944. For all practical purposes the two colours (as a paint standard) are identical. 2-6 replaced both the IJN colour J-3 and the Army colour # 1 (grey-green).<br /><br />Had the Ki-98 been built it would probably have been subject to those prevailing factory painting specifications and standards - at least in intent if not in practice (with allowances for wartime production exigencies and variance).<br /><br />Regards<br />NickStraggler 脱走兵https://www.blogger.com/profile/10129611267271999294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-83818895864348205502012-06-29T22:11:33.046+01:002012-06-29T22:11:33.046+01:00Pardon my ignorance, but what does (1-1) and (2-6)...Pardon my ignorance, but what does (1-1) and (2-6) mean in reference to the olive/grey colours?<br /><br /> John HydeJohn Hydenoreply@blogger.com
