I’m about to exhaust a bottle of Metalizer Metalic Blue, which has been great for the translucent blue of interior surfaces of Japanese aircraft. I can’t find a replacement. Does anyone have a recommendation?
I’ve been just using Alclad aluminum and then overspraying with a little Tamiya translucent blue. You can even mix in a little yellow to get a slight discoloured green tinge to it.
Take a look at Aggieman’s Monogram Zero build pics a few threads below. He is using Vallejo’s Aotake over a Tamiya IJN green.
Others may chime in with what thay are using as well.
Gunze’s acrylic Metallic Blue Green H063 has been my go-to paint for the Aotaki color for years.
Also, Mission Models have a color available: https://www.missionmodelsus.com/products/aotaki-blue-green
