| The Ki-61 images are colourized B/W photo's rather than colour shots.....but nice just the same! From a pictorial history of the 244th Fighter Sentai.

| As my knowledge of WW2 Japanese aircraft is on a par with my knowledge of particle physics, I found the pics very interesting, thanks Celerite. I think you might find, though Wayne, that these are prints from original reversal film, made direct, without the use of an interneg, I would guess from Sakura colour transparency film or similar. (possibly even Kodachrome 25 from the period.) A look at the tonal rendition of any B&W versions of the same shots could possibly confirm this, but don't take this as gospel, it's just my feeling. Terry. |

| Yes. There were very few color photographs by the Japanese until 1948 when massproduction of color film started. |

| I stand corrected! Can't read the Japanese text, but it would be interesting to know which way it was done, as the result is very similar to the process I described. During my time with the 'Big Yellow Box', I had a go at colourisation with the old Eastman colour kit, discontinued in the early '50's, and the above results are much more realistic compared to that! Very interesting. |
