Mixes matched to the coating on the metal portions of the airframe of the Mitsubishi-built Zero flown by Lt. Fusata Iida to his death at Kaneohe NAS and to Zero AI-154 that crashed at Fort Kamehameha, Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941. Various factors are involved here, on the tin it says " Paint Green NATO IRR Brushing or Spraying " and it's an Olive green. So it would seem that XF92 is intended to be RAL8000, although the pot lid colour looks more like 8020. XF93 is intended to be 8020 but the pot lid seems to be way off: it's more like BS Light Stone. And where are 7008 and 7027?? While a great deal of research as gone into matching the colours used during the War, in my opinion, it is difficult to reproduce the exact look and feel of the Wartime finish because of our modern synthetic eco-friendly paints. It amazes me how thin and matt the cover was on German wartime vehicles using paints that are considered poisonous by today’s standards." Well it would certainly be useful if Tamiya followed other manufacturers and quoted the RAL or RLM colours their paints are intended to match. And indeed FS, BS and other codification standards. Originally 8000 with disruptive pattern of one-third coverage of 7008, changed to 8020 with 7027 in March 42 but not required to be immediately implemented for repainting. You can see from the swatch below that the contrast between 8000 and 7008 is not great. Bovington's Tiger 131 is painted in the authentic 8000/7008 scheme and from a few yards the difference is hardly visible.

Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Field Blue XF-50 81750 – C5212 Log in for wholesale price Hi, this is a post I've saved for years and is by Greg Springer on color matches. Take it for what it's worth: This British Wartime colour was used from April 1944 and was intended to closely match US Olive Drab to avoid the need to repaint US vehicles used by British and Commonwealth forces. It is generally described as being somewhat greener than Olive drab.

Mixes matched to a fabric surface taken from the same Zero. This gray color would be found on all fabric-covered control surfaces. Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Field Grey XF-65 – C557 Log in for wholesale price

Starting from late Dec 1944, both PZ IV and Jagdtiger were also using RAL8017 Rotbraun as the base color over the vehicles first and then applied RAL7028 Dunkelgelb and RAL6003 Olivgrun. With the conflict in Georgia I noticed that the BMD-2 and BTR-80's were painted in a camo scheme that appeared to be lighter than the Dark Soviet Green. Can anyone give me a good match for the Green and Sand color. Any acrylic manufactor is fine( Tamiya, Model Master,Life Color. Vallejo) Sorry for all the paint questions but I would like to do some modeling this week end. There's a lot about the RAL history online. It is my understanding from this that while some of the names have changed to better describe the colours, the colours themselves have not changed. The same is true also of BS colours: BS LIght Stone today is exactly the same as BS Light Stone of the Western Desert campaign.

This will yield a primarily blue color with a slight green tint. Spray on with a light color feed and stop when you are satisfied with the color. You can experiment with different mixes. Green has a very strong chroma so very little is needed. The Smoke is used to tone down the clear colors as otherwise they will give a bright "candy apple" phony look. The other shades provide useful altenatives for different vehicles and I'll use to represent differential wear and fading etc. It's just useful to have a colour reference and being as lazy as I am _ I prefr using the Vallejo or Mig Ammo dropper bottles. Objects in this photo show far greater color resolution to be colorized, IMHO. I have several different BW images of this Jagdtiger, I have never seen this photo as a BW image, from which someone would have used to colorize into this image.Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – German Grey XF-63 – C578 Log in for wholesale price Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Flat Yellow XF-3 81703 – C5102 Log in for wholesale price Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Dark Yellow XF-60 81760 – C597 Log in for wholesale price Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Dark Yellow 2 XF-88 – C533 Log in for wholesale price

Modifications were authorised for the winter of 1944/45, the period that the Hummel was assembled. White was introduced and the amount of dark green reduced and confined to lower areas. At some assembly plants the dark green was eliminated altogether. Mix matched to a cloth artifact from Zero BII-120, landed on Niihau Island, Dec. 7, 1942. Likely also to match cloth on control surfaces of AI-154 shot down at Ft. Kamehameha and BI-151 crashed at Kaneohe NAS the same day. OK, now remember folks, don't shoot the messenger, I'm only relaying the info here, not the charter member of the cult. Changing colours against the same colour code is a recipe for disaster and is the very antithesis of the whole principle of paint colour codification. So I very much doubt that it happened. Especially with the Germanic virtual obsession with detail, accuracy and precision. With all respect to Mr Byrden, I suspect he is confusing the name change with a colour change and he means that for WW2 we should use the WW2 names and not the current ones. I would like to know what colours are used on this vehicle. I believe the following MERDCS colours are/were availableGreenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Bronze X-33 81533 – C534 Log in for wholesale price Still working on exactly what I want to do with my MLRS. I think I'll go with the camo pattern as depicted in this photo. Mixes matched to the overall metal surfaces of the Nakajima-built Zero shot down on Midway Island, June 4, 1942. This color would be found on all metal surfaces of the airframe, except the cowling. This color also found on some Vals at Pearl Harbor.
