I am curious what bronze green is assigned for. I get it for pink salmon as primer and the other colors are self evident.
Bronze Green was used on many WWII era cockpits, or at the very least some components.

This article on Stockhom IPMS goes into which planes used what colors... P.1 is an overview, P.2 covers USAAF aircraft, P.3 covers USN/USMC aircraft

Those are the same AK Real Colors as before in the new container.

Nice. I got curious on this Mercari site and checked it out. Lots of Gundam and Anime stuff, quite a lot of other kits. Some pricey, some decently priced. Depends on what you're looking for.

I did spy a Revell Baldwin Motion Drag Cobra kit that piqued my interest. :whistle:

I forgot to post some books that I've gotten recently. Really diving into aviation history.
