F-86D「月光」(Gekkō - Moonlight)

Rv Schrijver
Hello there,

I am just starting the F-86D from Revell/Monogram, with some goodies. I have chosen this specific aircraft (F-86D-45 04-8197 from 103rd Hikotai, at the end of her career in November 1968).
Said to be a nice kit, and so far fittings are good. So the fun. However, because the assembly guide is quite patchy and unclear (and not necessarily trustable), I have few questions regarding the colors:
- cockpit / seat / inner canopy colors ?
- gear bay colors: NMF/aluminum or interior green ? (The inner doors seems to be NMF)
- the radome: any guess on the brown-ish color seen on the pic below (haven't seen that on other aircraft, but most of the reference pics of japanese planes I have found are in BW) ? BTW, why brown and not the usual black ?

Thanks in advance !
