Question for you IJN aircraft experts:
Did the paint applied to Japanese aircraft with faric covering chip and peel the way the paint applied to metal aircraft did?
I've got a Hasegawa 1/72 "Alf" kit-- the biplane float plane carried on cruisers and battleships. It is mostly fabric covered, painted with aluminum dope, I think. If I was to paint it in the standard IJN green over gray, is it appropriate to have a lot of the silver showing through?
TIA,
-Bill
