WSSS_Spotter Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Guys, so i wanted to make a 789 in Saudia’s colours but the closest i have found is Xtracomour’s X321, which is out of production. I’m wondering if anyone knows the closest colour combination for Saudia’s fuselage ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBayKid Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Barring a custom matched colour, I’d probably get some USAF Southeast Asia tan (FS 30219) and lighten it with white. That should get you in the neighbourhood, and then you could tint with whatever colour (probably red) you might need to match photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangseat Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 If you are into enamels, you could try humbrol 41. If you are open to acrylics, you could look at Vallejo model colour (as opposed to model air). They have a huge range, 70918 looks like a possible match, I would be inclined to get 70837 as well as the true colour might be somewhere in between. Lovely choice of scheme btw!

busnproplinerfan Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Wonder if you could make something from white and khaki? When I see the picture of the diecast planes, it's so much darker than the photos of the real ones. https://thedesignair.net/2016/02/05/saudia-receive-first-787-dreamliners/ On the video in the link it shows a good closeup of the colour if you need.
