Hello folks,

Just asking if anyone has a coloured photocopy or scan of the Hinchliffe Taisho article that appeared in Military Modelling in the early 70s, please?

I seem to remember there being a series of different illustrations for armour colours and it is these Im particularly interested in.

I am working on a commission to build and paint the Miniart samurai for someone at club and Im aware of its shortcomings, but am interested in looking at some possible colour combinations.

TIA

Hi Valiant, i Have of box of old Military Modelling Mags in a walk in cup board upstairs, that cover this period. Will look through them for this article. If you know the date year this would help.
Probably won't get to this tho till later tonight so if someone is speedier than me, no sweat.
Yours,
Lightbob

Thanks Lightbob - not sure of the year, but there was a photo of the figure on the cover, if I remember rightly - Im thinking maybe 1973/4...?

You're correct Steve ... September 1973.
This is the whole Samurai Special section:-



I have a bit of a database, so was able to locate it quickly.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hello again Valiant --got down through the layers to the relevant box es, to discover that copies retained start 1975, so good that arj had the data base,( bit envious re that). Good luck with the painting.
