Floquil concrete (from the railroad line) is also a close color.

Testors make a color called old concrete (caramel) that works perfect for this aplication.

Look up a thread Fermis did a while back on a Val----I think he nailed the caramel color...

Are you really sure you want to open that can of worms? LOL  

There are basicly two (or three) trains of thought. SOme swear by the grey green Tamyia color, others swear it is gray, some swear that it is really a caramel color.  I guess the chioce is yours...or do more than one and see which one you like.

A6M2 Color Question
Posted by SoCal Dude on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 2:24 PM

I'm about to start building an A6M2 Zero to depict one of the Pearl Harbor attack planes and I was wondering what the right color would be for the fuselage.

Tamiya recommends their AS-29 Grey Green (IJN) so I bought a can but the cap has a decidedly greenish tint to it. Is this correct for this plane or should I use a color with more light grey in it?
