PaulR Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Evening all, very excited that xtradecals are releasing the decals for this, but does anyone have a good out of the jar acrylic match for the green along the spine and fin? Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobski Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 When the sheet comes out it will include a match for the green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstater94 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 From what I can see from the images online, the paint guide suggests Humbrol 2 for the green. I looked at the paint conversion guide and they list Testors Model Master Acryl E5941 as being a close match. Vallejo is another good paint that I have used which is acrylic and the chart lists bottle number 970 as a close match. Hope this helps Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG899 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi Stephen, If the usual sqn bars are deemed to be close to Humbrol 2, as they often are, those photos make the green on the spine and fin appear closer to Humbrol 101 or 131. Most interesting.... Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
