PhantomMajor Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 hi all just finished my afv club scimitar and I am looking for the right vallejo desert colour to paint it? paint name and number information would be great thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demiles Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I have gone through all my references and them some but unfortunately there is no direct equivalent. The only paint that indicates modern UK gulf war is Testors/Model Master for acrylic you need 4813 British Gulf Armor Light Stone enamel 2137 British Gulf Armor Light Stone and no company makes a direct equivalent. If you want use vallejo then I would look at a mix using 70.923/117Japan Uniform WWII with either 70.913/121 Yellow Ochre, 70.856/127 Ochre Brown and keep a bottle of yellow and white on hand.

CraigB Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 What is Vallejo Model Air 71.143 UK Light Stone like as a colour, is it close to the Gulf I British AFV colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rio Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 It should be. On the colour charts I have it is described as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentG Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This build is painted with Model Master Acryl "Light Stone". I used Vallejo "Black Gray" for the interrupter pattern. Model Master Acryl thinner completed the mix. Before weathering. Completed. This one is painted with Vallejo Model Color 70-916 "Yellow Sand". I added a drop each of Pale Sand and White. I thinned the mix with Model Master Acryl thinner and a drop of Vallejo retarder. It sprayed quite well. The interrupter is hand painted Life Color "Dark Green" with a Vallejo "Off White" border. I live in a extremely hot and dry area in the Southwest US, therefore my use of acrylics differs from most folks. I have had acrylic paint dry in the AB nozzle before painting has even begun. Before weathering. After weathering. Hope this helps! G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
