Can't see that colour on the equivalence charts I have.

As far as I know no one stocks them in the UK, probably because they have not been tested for safety.

Creative models were due to start stocking Testors enamels in Feb, but are still not showing any stocks.

Might be worth droping them a line in case they are going to be stocking them.

What's the actual colour ??, may be able to help from my own stock of other acyrilic paints !

If you can get a name or FS number for the color, this might help clicky

If it's 1/34031 Helo Drab, Xtracolor do it:

Yest it is Helo Drab...and very specyfic...this at Testors site it seems to be perfectly matched...I have tried put to convertion scheme and only one record shown...and Xtracolor like you said John but do you think will be exactly this same ?? In name of color is AIRCRAFT GREEN CAMO...I would like avoid green in this color to be more setup on this drab like Testors one

White Ensign Models do a US Helo Drab here If that page doesn't display, search under "helo drab". HTH

[Turecki]

I have never been used before White Ensign Models Paints ...how they working with aero...any experience gentelmen ??

[Mike]

WEM are well known for their color fidelity (accuracy), and they work like any other enamel paint with a paint brush or airbrush... longer drying times than acrylic, but more robust once fully cured

(In case I'm giving the wrong impression, I'm an acrylic user, but will use Enamels when I can't meet my color requirements any other way).

[Turecki]

Thank you Mike I am acrylic painting liker too but..how you said no other option if color need to be properly...ok I will try WEM ...

Thank you all for advices ...start of project very soon ...

Best regards

The Apache I built for the group build had paint mixing instructions of 30% Black added to Olive Drab. It looks about right to my eyes, especially after a matt coat of varnish, however the real things are multitonal in appearence due to fading, dirt and the paint actually looking different in differing lights/angles.

Mike uses Acrylics? wow, I always thought he used emulsion

Can you not just order one off evil Bay from the US ?

Their chart is here BTW

You have right Greg...same base color is not enough...final effect on model..like dirtying, shading etc. add finaly view for this all aspect

You could try these guys......

WWW.rcprocenter.com

I've ordered many different colours from them over the last couple of years.

Never had any issues with their delivery service (last lot took 11 days to arrive)

And their prices seem fair, considering they are in the States.............

Hope this is of some help
