Some time ago I have get one book printed in USA in 1945 and it is about the Japan warplanes. It is full color and include a number of the color art. Interesting that all colors are in general bright.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>SreckoSrecko Bradichttp://www.letletlet-warplanes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-88343726284300113502008-10-21T16:04:00.000+01:002008-10-21T16:04:00.000+01:00I, too, remember being in awe when I discovered the great trove of Japanese-made kits when I was a teen in the late 1980s. I built every Hasegawa 72nd scale at least twice and still tinker with them. Polly-S "dark green" was the standing paint order on all uppersurfaces then. I especially liked the Hasegawa Hein, but was always bothered by the peculiar wheel well detail. Of course, it was easier to gripe about it than try and correct it ;)<BR/><BR/>Great posts Nick, keep it up!Brian Wiedemannwww.empirecitydeals.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-31620607884328751272008-10-20T23:13:00.000+01:002008-10-20T23:13:00.000+01:00Hello Nick,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for these postings.

They were $4 US at that time- and I would buy one every week after getting paid. I vividly remember building the Otaki Raiden, and using Tamiya metallic blue for the cockpit.....;-)<BR/> Ah, the days of modeling innocence....<BR/> DanDanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08037699170186115421noreply@blogger.com
