This is the color referred to as "Nakajima cockpit color." It is from the OOP Aeromaster Warbird Acrylic colors. It is the main color used in Nakajima aircraft, both Army & Navy. Hope this helps !Please forgive the dust ! I didn't notice it until after I posted the pic !Sad [:(]

For the Zero I built, I also used the metallic blue...but for the Hasegawa Val, I used this paint they had...I think it was interior yellow....it looked kind of light pea green in color....

I recommend the following site for anybody who wants information on WWII Japanese aircraft. They have an article within the site somwhere about interior colors for japanese aircraft. Check out their 'Research' link.

I just finished the Tamiya 1:48 Zero nick named "Hank". Their interior directions call for a metallic blue. I forget the number but it is a blue green color. Looks really good. I just thought that was an odd color for a fighter. I then found the above website. It appears Tamiya may actually be incorrect. Here it appears that the interior is a chromate or interior green. Also, the cowl is usually painted black. This person suggests it is a dark blue color. Interesting!

Japenese aircraft interior color
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, August 25, 2003 10:57 AM
I am building a Japenese Navy 'Val' dive bomber and 'Kate' torpedo bomber 1941 to late '42 period. I am asking if anyone would know the interior color scheme to these planes. I have tried various reference material on the subject but all the I can find are black and white pictures. Any suggestions or links would be appreciated! Thanks for reading.
