Great Pic's! Any idea on the colors? Wondering if it was resprayed in some easy to ID color like Red, or if it is an Olive Drab respray.

According to the net she was of the dark blue colour overall with the red rudder, elevators and spinner. The white band behind the spinner and at the fin with the horizontal stabilizers. The emblem of the USMC on the fin sides.

Great info, I can see the difference of the rudder and Spinner now that you point it out, So I would guess it was Navy Blue, with standard US white and red, great modeling subject!

 

[Wurger]

IMHO it was that blue paint. Here a couple shots more ...

Fonte immagine: Alla vista di questo Ki-61 Hien (per gli americani “Tony”) molti puristi potrebbero storcere il naso. Lo so, il soggetto è davvero poco convenzionale… ma amo andar…

Well, it looks like they probably flew it. Probably as dangerous as the day job!
