Hello everyone, First post in this section. I recently bought the above kit and am looking for Tamiya paint colors to use. The instructions show the following: Grey Sand (Close to FS36555) Dark Green (Close to FS34083) Light Green Grey (Close to FS34583) Any help is appreciated. Looking for either Tamiya or possibly MMP brand paints. Thanks, Old_Sarge

Thanks for the links Andre. much appreciated!

MDriskill, Thank you very much for the reply. As you suggest I think I will do a "normal Camo" and then overcoat with thin layers of white. Mike

Hello everyone, First post on this site. Need some help with the above mentioned kit. I am looking to do the color scheme on the ProfiPack version, It is Marking A belonging to Hptm. Hans Phillip of JG.54. It is an all white aircraft. I have never attempted an all white plane and am looking for some pointers. TIA, Mike

Thanks Chris for the info. Trying to find out if when applying carbon fiber decals to a racing model should the plastic be prepped/painted or just applied to bare plastic. Mike

Hello, I have been trying to start a new topic in the vehicle section. However when I go to the new topic page I can put in a title but I cannot put anything into the text area where my question would go!! and the above bar with the bold, underline, font, etc is not visible. Please advise Thank You, Mike

Thanks Shaun. I think I will give the Graphite Grey a try. Mike

Hello Shaun, I've been following your build since I just bought this kit. Excellent work by the way! I do have a couple of questions though: My instructions give a call out for Metallic Black - comparable to Tamiya TS-40 for the body. I noticed that you used the Zero Paints Graphite Grey. Is the Graphite Grey closer to the true color of the car? Is it possible that Ebbro did not update their instructions from the early version? Are the Johnnie Walker decals from an after market set? My decal sheet does not contain them. Thanks, MIke

Gentlemen, Thanks for the info, it's much appreciated. I have purchased the Gripens and the new Revell Typhoons. Now I just need to find some reference material! Old_Sarge
