Ya know, Polly S and Humbrol both made a purple/lilac paint in their paint lines for Japanese aircraft long ago… nobody does today.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Nope. Such a sha.e Pollyscale discontinued. I reaaly like their paint line.
Originally, I had bought AK Interactive 3rd Gen Lilac to use on the Rufe. Then I saw I had Pollyscale Atlantic Coast Purple in my paint stash (from Rex years ago). I ran a couple paint tests on a mule kit. Found the 3rd Gen was too bright even under black base. The Pollyscale was a better fit.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Nice Rufe, Tom. That's a color that doesn't show up for me due to my color vision. Looks like the USN intermediate blue to me. Pretty, actually.
Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
That's very nice indeed Tom - My Purple obsessed pilot wife would love that.

after I add those things, I'll get the usual multi angle photos up in the proper completed forum...
For the purposes of this GB thread, it is finished!

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Thank you Stuart. In the end it turned out pretty much as hoped for…

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Stuart, thank you! All in all, pretty happy with it.
