Painting recommendations
For authentic appearance, it is recommended to use hobby paints corresponding to the original aircraft color schemes. In this scale modeling, colors from brands like Tamiya, Gunze Sangyo, or Vallejo are often used, matched to historical US Navy aircraft colors from World War II, such as:
Dark Sea Blue
White
Neutral Grey
Aluminum (for metallic parts)
For the best results, metal parts should be appropriately primed after fitting and sanding before painting.
