guess i'll dig out the metallic blue they referenced.

There were much debate in WW2 Japanese aircraft cockpit color; including wheel wells. I have both colors for IJN interior and aotake blue.

I've noticed that. To keep all happy (or none, who knows?), I painted the wells the Aotaki blue and the cockpit items green. I love this hobby.

oh, and I promise none of that was directed at anyone here. Really. I love reading the debates on other sites.

Watch out, John... you got some serious competition on this Zero.
You’re not alone, Lyle. I’ve always been confused with what’s really the correct color for cockpit and wheel wells in all Japanese warbirds of WW2.

What what what ?
What's happening Lyle with the Airfix P-51 ?

Mostly operator error, I’m sure. Port elevator has snapped off three times, rudder once, tailwheel strut (okay, that is a given)...and whatever shifted as I put the cockpit tub in has had repercussions in other areas.

I’ll wip it into some sort of shape.

Uhh, ok !

Not bringing out the hammer yet, Lyle?

No, but it is all charged up and ready to go...
