Modern RAF Roundel colours

Recommended Posts

One for the paint gurus: I've got to retouch the blue on this  and was wondering if any of you have the right paint  type or mix: Its the "modern" blue and I have the extracolor X30 ( + gunze equivalent) but these are lot darker with none of the purplish hue. I suspect these may be the wartime red/blue.

Brand is irrelevant but if anyone has any insight, it would be much appreciated

 

Cheers

Hi Anil,

          if the tin of xtracolour is marked as 110 = BS381 110, that's the current colour for Roundel Blue. Wartime colours were darker.

May be an idea to cut away the blue sections and mask the white and use X30.

Yup BS110 is what it says, its no match for the decal colour though. I would have sprayed this in retrospect like some of my other builds but yutzing around masking decalled areas can only end badly. One for the dont look too closely shelf. Thanks @PhoenixII
