I collaborated with Shigeru NOHARA in the production of MA No.470 (see credits top of page 3). NOHARA-san and I have a difference of opinion based on our interpretations of the series of photos taken of the Mitsubishi J2M Jacks pictured on pages 29, 31, and 32. It is very speculative to interpret b/w photos for color. We do know that (utilizing panchrome film) the trainer/experimental color and gray-green (hairyokushoku) render the same tonal qualities in b/w photographs. My reasoning was that the Mitsubishi aircraft company did not paint the prototype A6M Zero in the experimental color and, therefore, I did not see any particular reason they would change their policy with the J2M prototype. The Yokosuka based J2Ms are carrying the code of the 301 ku, indicating quasi combat operations. I seriously doubt a combat unit would continue to fly an aircraft in the highly visible experimental colors. NOHARA-san split the difference of our opinion by rendering in his art work the experimental plane in "gray" and the quasi operational test models in experimental colors (see page 3). I still strongly believe, but have no more factual proof than these b/w photos and the knowledge of the established Mitsubishi practice, that these J2M Jacks were painted in semi-gloss gray-green (hairyokushoku).
I hope this speculation has not clouded this topic and I would welcome any considered rebuttal.
