The Story
Hai-Iro — “ash grey” — is the classic light grey of early Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft, from AK's airbrush-ready Air Series. It's the calm, pale factory finish worn by early Zeros before the dark green schemes took over — subtle, slightly warm, and lovely under a bit of panel-line work.
