Was the pale blue-grey colour only the result of leaching of a grey-green paint, as described for Zero fighters?
I have used the Aeromaster paint (9096 – A/N Brown Primer) to replicate the reddish brown used in colour schemes in Indo-China and Thailand. Humbrol Matt 186 Brown is also close. For the olive green I like to use a surviving tin from the old Humbrol Authentics range, HJ3 Green A3 (which unfortunately I haven’t been able to match in their “new” range. For the ochre base coat in early tri-colour schemes I like to use Humbrol Matt 83 Ochre. After a lot of experimentation this combination of colours appears satisfactory and very close to images in contemporary colorised postcards and art. I forgot my FS deck!
