Αλέξη, όσον αφορά το χρώμα στη φωτό 2 νομίζχω οτι η κιτρινωπή χροιά οφείλεται στον υπερκείμενο φωτισμό. Γενικά αποδεκτό ως σωστά χρώματα για το hairyokushoku, αυτό το μυστήριο γκρί, είναι τα Tamiya XF-12 και Gunze H61. Τώρα αν επιμένεις σε λεπτομέρειες σου ασντιγράφω από το j-aircraft.com:
Preserved Mitsubishi relics from two separate Zeros which crashed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, one at Kaneohe Bay and the other at Fort Kamehameha, were examined. The glossy pale olive-gray of these aircraft was an exact match to Munsell color notation 7.8Y 5.5/2.5. No exact match was found within the Federal Standard (FS) colors key 595 B. However, the color value of these aircraft may be placed within the range of FS-24201 and FS-16350 with the closer match being FS-16350. Weathered pieces examined from the cowling and canopy deck areas of Zero remains in the John Sterling collection were a black-gray color which closely matched the darkness of FS-25042 and the hue of FS-26081. Researcher James I. Long concluded that the canopy deck samples were more of a "black-green" color most like FS-14050. All parts from the wings, fuselages, and tail surfaces of two Zeros (models 32 and 22) examined had faded and/or oxidized to produce a chalky pale gray similar in appearance to FS-36357 or FS-36495. It was also discovered that oxidized paint samples obtained from Nakajima production Zeros (model 21) mimicked those produced by the Mitsubishi company. The similarity in the appearance of the two weathered schemes influenced many previous investigators to conclude that all Zero finishes had the same chalky-gray color. However, when the oxidized samples from Mitsubishi produced Zeros (models 32 and 22) were lightly buffed, the pale olive-gray color beneath the oxidation was an exact match to FS-26350. Another oxidized sample, possibly from a Nakajima produced Zero model 21, had a hue between Munsell 5Y 5/2 and 5Y 5/4 or FS-20277. One sample, an access panel in the Darby collection, had an interesting variation. A coating similar to varnish had been applied over the original paint. The overall effect of the sizing was to give a golden cast to the color beneath. It is possible that this clear coat had been applied after 1945 as a preservative by the collector.
A slightly different overall paint scheme, herein designated N-01, was applied by the Nakajima company to its Zero production run. One preserved sample of rudder fabric in the National Archives Collection was obtained from a Nakajima production Zero model 21 (s.n.6544) recovered from the Russell Islands in February 1943. This component may be described as being a glossy "medium gray" color. The gray was matched to Munsell color notation 5 GY 5/1. No exact equivalent was found on the FS colors key, however, it was between FS-16314 and 16251. It is probable that Nakajima did not always over paint the gray doped fabric control surfaces after attaching them to the main aircraft components. Several exterior metal components of Nakajima manufactured Zero model 21s produced prior to March 1943 were most like FS-24201. A weathered and soiled metal sample from a Nakajima A6M2-N float fighter ("Rufe") more closely matched the color of FS-20277. Two different metal skin samples of Nakajima production Zeros, were provided by Marine ace Ken Walsh and Navy veteran Bill Scarborough to researcher and aviation author Robert C. Mikesh. Both samples were found by Mikesh to be an exact match to FS-16160. However, noted aviation artist Roy Grinnell matched the Walsh sample to FS-24201. Oxidized and faded samples of weathered Nakajima relics had the appearance of a chalky gray color similar to FS-36492. When the oxidized Nakajima samples were lightly buffed, the color revealed was more often a matched FS-26350 or FS-24201. Another distinguishing feature of the Nakajima applied finish was the fuselage hinomaru. Nakajima factories applied a 75 mm white outline to the fuselage hinomaru from mid 1942. Samples examined from the cowling and rear canopy deck of Nakajima produced Zeros were a close match to FS-27038.
Οπως βλέπεις από απόψεις και χρωματισμούς άλλο τίποτα. Ασε που πρέπει να ξέρεις αν το συγκεκριμένο αεροσκάφος το έφταξε η Nakajima ή η Mitsubishi... Πάντως αυτό το δίχρωμο με το άσπρο πίσω μέρος δε μου γεμίζει το μάτι.
