Japanese brown

An old chart I have says the color is FS10076. This is the same color that is paiinted on the props. I believe Aeromaster or Polyscale used to make this color. I'm not sure if anyone else did.

IPMS Stockholm lists that brown as FS 20117 with the comment - used on Nell, Betty, and Claude. Just in case you do not have a copy of the FS color fan deck or color chips, it is a medium reddish brown, not unlike the brown primer used later on props and spinners but not as red.

If you can't find FS 20117, use the red-brown primer. Most paint manufacturers offer this. Close enough for government work!
