Purchased one pack each of 1/300 scale manned V-1 and Ohka rockets from MSD,waiting for them to arrive.
Looking for suggestions+pics of color schemes for each.
Will be using Vallejo and Testors acrylics for these.
Any help is appreciated. Mark |

Several postings on j-aircraft.com provide some insight into the colours applied to the Ohka. The metal clad fuselage was a shade of greenish-gray whereas the fabric covered tail and wings were either a robin-egg blue or left in an aluminum paint. The variation between these last two colours probably depended on the sub-contractor for these components. link link link |

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions of where to look. |

From the pictures Ryan provided, it appears that they were the same color as early war fighters – a light sandy green or a very light olive (presumably what the one note refers to as pea green). |
