Hey there!
I've recently gotten back into modeling after a VERY long hiatus and I decided to start back with a Hasegawa 1/48 D3A1 "Val", and paint it in the Pearl Harbor/Indian Ocean paint scheme. Now, for the longest time, I had thought Vals were white with black cowling, but after doing a little research, the appropriate color was a light grey, namely the IJN Green-Grey from Tamiya, at least for the underside of the later olive green/grey the Vals sported post-Ceylon. Is that correct for the late '41/early '42 Vals, though? Or do I use a lighter shade of grey?
