feoffee2 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 This has been disscussed but there is no definite answer Some people say to use humbrol oxford blue but this is a matt paint so I'm not sure Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi, Deanflyer did a beautiful 747 in the Landor scheme recently. For the blue, he used Gunze Sangyo H326 (Thunderbirds Blue). Looks dead on to me. If you do a search on here for 747 City of Swansea, you should find the thread easily. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Personally I think Humbrol 15 is a bit too light for Landor although it's perfect for the earlier Negus scheme. In the past I've used a recipe given to me by a fellow modeller who used to work as a dispatcher for BA - 50% Xtracolor X23 Oxford Blue + 50% X357 US Airways Dark Blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
