Hi all,
I know Bougainville has asked something along these lines, but I haven't (yet) seen an answer.
I'm about to restore several Japanese projectiles in calibres of 20mm (IJA), 25mm (IJN) and 37mm (IJA).
Being a perfectionist, I'd like to get the colours for the colour bands and Kanji as correct as possible. Therefore, I'm hoping someone can give me some standardised colour codes for the colours as they were used by the IJA and the IJN. If no one knows the EXACT colours, but does know colours that come very close, that would be very much appreciated too.
From specimens I have with original paint, I have noticed that the colours aren't 100% identical from item to item, so there is some slack space to work with.
I will be needing good approximations for at least the following colours:
IJA:
-Red
-Yellow
-Green
IJN:
-Green
-Marroon
-Yellow
-Orange
-Red
Cheers!
