It was Blue Black. I just mix Dark Sea Blue with Black 1:1. Close enough for me.

Regards, Rick

IJN Nose/Anti-Glare Panel Color
Posted by qmiester on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 8:23 AM
I'm starting work on a Mania B5N2 and am having some problems with the color that the nose and antiglare panel actually were. Most data I've seen says the color is black. However, I remember reading an article several years ago which said the color is actually Blue/Black (Black/Blue?) and the color profiles in the kit would indicate it's the Blue/black. (don't ask about the instructions as they're in Japanese and I'm lost). I've checked my normal sources for paint (IPMS Stockholm etc) but no luck with a color or a formula to match the color.

Does anyone out there know what the color was and perhaps have a formula to match it? Or perhaps know of the article I'm thinking of? (Think it was a British model mag but which one?)

Thanks
Quincy
