RAAF Dark Green/Earth vs RAF Dark Green/Earth

[sapperastro]

Sorry, another question,

 

I am on a bit of an ordering spree with Colourcoats at the moment, and due to the rather odd way my local stockist charges for postage, it is cheaper to order a few tins at a time.

 

I went on to get some new RAF colours; naturally, the RAF Dark Earth, D. Green and Sky type S are already gone. I noticed that he has plenty of RAAF Dark Green and Dark Earth in stock, so...

 

Are these colours different to the RAF versions Jamie? If so, how big is the difference? They look the same on your website, though I know this really means little when it comes to colours.

l bought a book from Red Roo Models on this subject. It has actual paint chips in the book. Even in the book your best guess is about as close you are going to get as there is no one accurate color used. The best l can suggest is the following

 

Gunze

1. Foliage Green Mr Hobby H302/Mr Color C302
2. Sky Blue H323/C323
3. Earth Brown 90% H72/C72 + 10% H47/C47
4. any white 

LIfe Colours

1. Foliage Green UA 514
2. Sky Blue UA 515
3. Earth Brown UA 513
4. again any white

Hope this helps

 

Hacker ...yeah l do know somethings

Hi Greg,

 

Yes you can safely use ACRN09 interchangeably with ACOZ07 and ACRN10 with ACOZ06. I can't tell the difference between them!

Excellent. That will work out to my advantage. Thanks Jamie.

 

Thanks to you to Hacker, I appreciate your time and efforts, but I prefer Colourcoats and just wanted to know if there was any colour difference between the colours mentioned.
