Hello Bjorn,
got the Hasegawa Draken in the stash and saw your helpful informations about colour mixes for this aircraft. I was wondering if , in your opinion, I could replace some of the colours with others I already have. Meaning to use H54 instead of XF-17 and XF-83 instead of H335.
Also which colours would you use to fade the green and the blue or should I simply add white?
Thanks for your insight.
Pat.

Hello Pat,
XF-83 is a good match, I would only reccomend you to add just a hint of blue. H54 could work on a slightly faded Draken, however H55 is a better match.
The faded olive green can easily be achieved by adding a little light grey, I have used H338. The blue is more difficult, since it turned almost green on very weathered Individuals. So here you have to check references. To get the faded blue, I used H55 and H338, very faded blue could be achieved with more H338 and a little H46 Emerald green. But maybe H54 + H46 will work as well. And maybe you can get less faded blue with H54 and a little black.
Good luck!
Björn

It looks like a recipe you have to adapt "to taste" 🤔. I'd like a "not just new" aircraft, so I'll buy H55 and start from there. As you used the same light grey H338 to fade both "upper" colours, I think I'll get it (maybe my H315 could do). Got to put big restraints on for quite some time as I was a big spender these last few weeks.
I intend a "Swedish winter session" with Hasegawa 1/48 Draken, Pilot Replica's 1/48 Tunnan, Special Hobby 1/72 Viggen.
Thanks a lot. Take care during these strange times we're going through.
Pat.
