This figure is to show Paul the colour of Vallejo's Japanese uniform colour paint.
For me it's a little to yellow for my liking,but that doesn't mean that someone that knows how to use a brush could do a damn site better job than I did.
It was an older work so I should give the colour another go.I have have picked up a few new tricks since then so don't go rushing to take it back to the shop yet mate!
If you are wondering why I have taken pictures of the same side it is to show the colour in different lighting,not that I was unable to decide which pictures to put on.
I do like this set of figures but then I do have a soft spot for ESCI sets, its the ones I grew up with.
ESCI world war two Japanese soldiers, a fine set with options for conversions.I am surprised that Italeri have not re-released this set.I am also surprised that there are so few sets of Japanese soldiers on the market at all.
Hope this helps Paul,

I like this figure and his colouring, he's very well done. A very interesting subject.
I used the same base colour on my Airfix Japs recently. It is a bit 'yellow' but the ink wash and drybrush calmed it down quite a bit.
Can't claim credit for the quote mate. Maybe it was one of the Paul's.
Good looking figure though.
I remember watching the World at War and unpacking Japanese ESCI models. They were great models. I don' recall their being any British or Americans to fight them? I think I used Airfix Chindits.
It's alright but I've come to prefer JA green
Cheers Rich, this is a real help. Cannot claim credit for the quote either I'm afraid (It is a nice one).
I see what you mean I might have a trial later on if this bloomin heat lets up.
Cheers Paul
I reckon it is the smallest atoll!!;-)
Great work Rich!
Chris has sent me some Japanese figures from Esci! He is one of the kindest people I know in our hobby!

Cheers all,he's not the best painted figure in the world.
Al I use Vallejo German uniform for US marines,but I like the sound of if for Japanese uniforms.
Cheers Rich.
