Mr. Color (10 ml) JMSDF 2704 Gray N5

Mr. Hobby C607 JMSDF 2704 Gray N5 (10 ml) is a special paint focused on the modern Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), which was created after World War II. This paint allows modelers to authentically portray today's Japanese fleet.

🚢 Historical Context of the Shade (Modern Era)

After the dissolution of the Imperial Navy and the subsequent establishment of the JMSDF, the Japanese ships began using standardized coatings, often inspired by or directly based on NATO and US Navy standards.

• Color Characteristics: Shade 2704 Gray N5 is a specific medium-light gray color that is the typical scheme for the hulls and superstructures of almost all current JMSDF ships, from destroyers (e.g. The JMSMS ships are the most common destroyers in the JMSDF, from the Atago and Akizuki classes to helicopter destroyers (e.g. Izumo class).

• Standardized Paint: Shade N5 is part of a standardized color scheme designed for effective camouflage in the open ocean environment.

• Finish: The matte (Flat) finish accurately simulates the paintwork of modern warships to minimize glare.

🎨 Mr. Color Product Characteristics

As part of the Mr. Color series from GSI Creos, this paint is a guarantee of high quality:

• Type of Paint: Synthetic Solvent (Lacquer) - the paint is highly pigmented, which guarantees excellent opacity and the formation of a very thin and durable paint film. It dries quickly and is hard.

• Application.

• Thinning: For best results and to minimize the "orange peel" effect, it is recommended to use Mr. Levelling Thinner.

Please note: This is a solvent based paint and therefore good ventilation during application is essential.
