Towards the end of the WW2, thier is a paint job I have seen, but am not too sure of. Their are photos of their planes being painted, sparingly, of a dark green over light gray ???? or is it aluminum ????? Hope I made myself clear enough for you all to possibly help me. Thanks.

Quinten hit it right on the head. A spotted green over aluminum. I was not too sure if it was a green over a gray or aluminum.

Anyone have any pics of a green over aluminum?

Chuck - thanks for the pic. But thats a solid green, where as I was looking for spotted green over aluminum.

Thanks again for both of your help on this one. Now, I just need some pics for reference. Thanks guys.

If you would have tried to run that through google, you'd know it doesn't. It came back ( for me ) with three returns, all art related, I hope....

Yeah, I was trying that japanese paint scheme, zero paint, a6m2 paint scheme, etc. And it did not give me what I wanted, besides schematics and color charts.
