Re: Japanese camouflage late war
Nick Millman, currently the go-to source in English for Japanese camouflage, has a high opinion of Thorpe's work. I think you'd have to go study his blogs to find if he has addressed the problem of browns. However, he did assist Colourcoats with their Japanese colours, and having used the resulting late war olive green paint (see the Sovereign Hobbies website for a representation) I have to say that it looks green on my model, if somewhat more brown than most representations. I've no idea how it would fade, as this would depend upon the pigments. The UK (and presumably other Allies) found green pigments in short supply, but whether this was true for the IJN I don't know. I would assume so, given the effectiveness of the blockade.
