Andre B Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) AS Paints AS1 Dark Gren = XF 11 AS 2 Ligth Gray = XF 12 As 3 Gray Green = RLM 74 (Luftwaffe). AS 4 Gray Violet = RLM 75 (Luftwaffe). Close match for Humbrol Hu 79 Blue Grey and Hu 123 Extra Dark Sea Grey... AS 5 Light Blue = RLM 76 (Luftwaffe). AS 6 Olive Drab = XF 62 AS 7 Neutral Gray = XF 53 Close to Humbrol Hu 126 US Medium Grey (FS 36270?). AS 8 Navy Blue (US Navy) = ? Not the same as US Navy blues. Lighter and more "blueish"... AS 9 Dark Green = Hu 163 AS 10 Ocean Grey = Revell 47 AS 11 Medium Sea Grey = Hu 165 AS 12 Bare Metal Silver. Nice looking on NMT aircrafts as P-51D toghether with TS 17 and TS 30. AS 13 Green = FS 34079 SEA and Euro One camouflage. AS 14 Olive Green = FS 34102 SEA and Euro One camouflage. AS 15 Tan (USAF) = FS 30219 Close to Hu 118 US Tan. SEA and IDF camouflage. Compared to the FS 20219 Tan (SEA scheme) it doesn't look too bad. The tone is about the same but the Tamiya AS paint is a bit less yellow and a bit more red, slightly "fleshier" looking. It would probably be ok on a model. AS 16 Light Gray = FS 36622 ??? AS 17 Dark Green (IJA). AS 18 Light Gray (IJA) = Fs 16473 ADC Grey for F-101, F-102 and F-106? AS 19 Intermediate Blue = ? Rather light blue and not the same as US Navy Intermediate blue which is much greyish. Much lighter blue compared to Xtracolor 125 and Hu 144 US Navy Intermediate Blue.

Same or close match for Hu 165 Light Sea Grey or Hu 64 Light Grey... TS Paints TS 1 Red Brown = XF 64 TS 2 Dark Green = XF-61 TS 3 Dark Yellow = XF-60 TS 4 German Grey = XF-63 TS 5 Olive Drab = XF-62 TS 6 = XF 1 TS 9 Brittish Racing Green = X-5 TS 17 Gloss Aluminium.

AntPhillips Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi Andre, Great start, just as a quick addition, the Tamiya 1/32 F-4C/D Phantom gives AS-13/14/15 as the upperside colours for the USAF SEA camouflage scheme (FS34079, 34102 & 30219) and I think they're fairly good matches, however they also give AS-16 as the underside colour (FS36622), but just to complicate things Tamiya also recommend the same AS-16 for USN Lt. Gull Grey (FS36440) in both the 1/32 F-4J Phantom kit and in the recent 1/48 F-14 Tomcat, IMHO AS-16 is closer to the Lt Gull Grey than to the SEA Camouflage Grey, but it's food for thought. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre B Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 AS-4 updated. Close to Humbrol 123 Extra Dark Sea Grey. Goes for RN aircrafts like Hawker Fury, Westland Wyvern, Seaharrier, Scimitar, Sea Vixen, Buccaneer and Phantom II... If one want a lighter and more sunbleached shade try AS-27 Gunship Gray 2. /André Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 What would be the Tamiya spray equivalents for FS34092 (gunship green) and FS36081 (Euro One gray) please? Along with FS34102/AS-14, are those correct for an 80's Bentwaters A-10? For a Lakenheath F-111, would I be correct to use: AS-13 (green FS34079), AS-14 (olive green FS34102) and AS-15 (tan)?

Hi, I have a idea about to build an US F-4G in Euro One Scheme. So it's my plan to found out which Tamiya paints that goes for those FS colours.

Andre B Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Some of use the Tamiya AS and TS paints for NMT aircrafts such as P-51 Mustang, F-86 Sabre and F-104 Starfighter. So what could be used and what is best avoided? I made an quick comparison... And this is what I got... As can be seen is that TS-17 and AS-12 are rather close to each other. TS-30 is lighter and lighter compared to TS-17 and AS-12. When I build an P-51 I goes for TS-30 and AS-12. TS-42 Light Gun Metal is darker but I feel is not for use when it comes to aircraft kits. It's to "grainy" wich almost destroys the look of a kit if used. I feel it's best avoided. Cheers / André 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
