Anyone shed any light on this? From what I can work out, Gunze Mr.Color C351 is Zinc Chromate Type 1. Is Mr.Color the enamel/lacquer range from Gunze? and is it available in the UK? MDC don't seem to carry them, they only have the Aqueous(Acrylic) range. Would you concur that Tamiya XF-4 Yellow Green be a good match? your thoughts .....? |

Bit of a how long is a bit of string question Mike, as there are so many different shades that modellers like to refer to as ZC. What is it for? Jen. |

351 is part of an interior colour set and you can obtain the set from various outlets in the US. As Jen says which ZC? It could be variously yellow/lemon yellow, yellow green, green, or er, salmon pink. peebeep |

Thought that might be the case. It is for the interior of the TBD-1 Devastator. Though I have since found that it could rather be Aluminium lacquer/silver interior for early/pre-war TBD's, or so it says with photographic evidence in the Squadron/Signal "In action" book. |

In that case, assuming it is the standard USN colour, and not the Darker type that Grumman used, it would be H58 ![]() Jen. |
