    Thanks for liking the AVG P-40.

    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!

      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.

    If you pay attention to the lyrics of Metal Machine, you'll  notice these are references to many songs but the ones from Iron Maiden hits comme first.

    Plastic first, Metal second... or is it the opposite? Don't ask me to choose.

      Ha! Yes. There was a homage to sabbath, kiss and priest that I could hear.  Brilliant stuff. 🤘

      Thanks a lot. Eager to see another "foreign" livery. I've got another one in the stash I'll probably (sometime) do with Finnish markings. Nice little kit, isn't it?

      Yes it is. This is the first one I've started in many years and if I finish it, it will be the first finished kit in an even longer time.

      Hang on. After a 35 years stop, it took me a year and a half to have a production line running again!

      Cheers.
