Hello to the model building world!
We need some help on a certian color. I read that certain Rufe float planes in the Aleutian Islands were painted top side with a violet or lavender color. Is this a true color or was it faded primer? Anyone with information on this color or a close match (mixed or ready) will be greatly appreciated.

Ah, the famous purple Rufe strikes another victim!
Chris, the current understanding is that there never was a purple Rufe. It is possible that the primer is showing through a heavily weathered grey overcoat but that is purely speculation at this point.
The primer coat would be the almost the same colour as the hinomarus and the overcoat would be something like Polly Scale Concrete. I have never tried this combination to see what the effect would be.
Known correct colour schemes would be Polly Scale Concrete overall or else IJN green uppers over IJN grey lowers.
