Jap Trainer Orange

I've used Testors International Orange on my A5M4K trainer, looks pretty close to me.

"Mr. Sensitive" here!
I didn't think you were intentionally being Mr. Insensitive, but a lot of people do innocently use that term without realizing at all the impact it may have. I generally do not comment at all when I see it in the forums, but since I was going to directly respond to your color question here, I felt I should mention it. If that's being a "Mr. Sensitive," then I guess that's me!
I can guarantee you, however, that there are people a LOT more sensitive than I am on this issue out there. Like my Japanese fiance and her family, my Japanese friends, teachers, and host family from my university days, my Japanese co-workers, and all the Japanese guys in my modelling club here in Osaka, where I've lived since 1993.

I don't think I was being over-sensitive, just common-sensitive in pointing out something that could be offensive.

Anyway, no big whoop! Let's model.

What trainer are you building?

Thanks for the responses, i just realized i had a couple of books that have color chips that could help me. As for Mr. Sensitive, i can assure you that i was just abbreviating "Jap"anese, having spent two years stationed in Japan i have the utmost respect for the Japanese and their culture(and their women).
Thanks

The use of the term "Jap" in a non-historical context (i.e., a quote) can be viewed as offensive to some, particulalry here in Japan.
Perhaps you simply meant it as a harmless abbreviation of "Japanese," but please realize that the term "Jap" carries a heavy emotional impact here in Japan and in Asia.

Not trying to be the PC Police here, but I thought it best to mention this. This is a global site, after all.

As for the color, I don't know if this will help, but Gunze Sangyo #58 Orange Yellow is the correct color.

Hi, are you refering to the color applied to the aircraft shown in the link?

Here's the link:

If it is, I suggest you e-mail Tamiya regarding color suggestions (they have them for other aircraft).

Hope this helps!

hmm can't help you there, you might try www.j-aircraft.com , they are a definiteive source on many things with Japanese aircraft. I know they have some color charts, jut not sure about that color...
