Hi Lavo!
I've based myself off this info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_World_War_II_navy_bombs

Quote
Color coding system

Mark 5    Green / White    Grey    Grey    -    -    -    -    -    Armour piercing bomb. For use against capital ships.

If you've any pics or documents would you share them? It would help me greatly :)

I was thinking of putting up the UVW mapping of all the ordnances and weapons i've redone till now, so if any skinner can give them a professional dress they could even look better.

According to some serious sources, your colors are correct Red_Fox90.

"Naval Bombs" "Naval bombs are usually coloured grey with tail fin supporting straps painted green."
"Army Bombs" "These are coloured black, with two light bands around the body and a red band about the nose."
http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/japanesebombsdw_1.htm

This is confirmed by "Samourai sur porte-avions: Les groupes embarques japonais et leurs porte-avions (1922-1944)" (Michel Ledet, Editions Lela Presse)

By the way, I know no "600Kg" bomb, as far as I know, the Type 99 No.80 Mk 5 was circa 800Kg heavy (796.8Kg, +-6Kg).

Thanks for all the documents Fdokal! That's a lot more than i could get from my searches, and about the 600kg bomb, being in reality something else, i absolutely agree with you ;)

Interesting. If it's actually a 800kg bomb, maybe the amount of damage it causes should be increased accordingly.
