colour for modern French Super Etendard

[cardiff guy]

Hi guys.

I need help I have looked at several sources of reference and there seems to be a discrepancy . I'm looking for the two tone camo on modern Super Etandards most sources will have the darker shade as fs. 36118 it's the lighter shade that no one seems to agree on .

hope you can help Glenn.

Hi Glenn,

I too have struggled with finding the right colors for my SEM and after looking at different decal sheets, build articles, and other web information, I have decided to try to mix my own colors or at least try to match the decal colors to make it look right. I wish someone would make a cockpit for the 72nd Heller kit (best shape!) to go along with the Olimp update set so I can press on with my build before the SEMs leave the fleet!

Sorry I don't answer your question directly,

If you're wanting FS equivalents then the two colours that you're after are,

Dark Grey FS 36152

Light Grey FS 35237

The contrast between the two Greys in real terms isn't as great as most photographs show.
