757flyer Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Does anyone know what the specific colors are for the new JASDF grey/blue camo scheme? https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1042923/45-1074-japan-air-self-defence-force-jasdf-lockheed-c-130h-hercules-l-382 https://www.planespotters.net/photo/724788/68-1203-japan-air-self-defence-force-jasdf-kawasaki-c-2 I assume they are indigenous Japanese colors (i.e. NOT FS-Standard). The overall light blue of the previous C-130 scheme was specified as S28-852, but the lower blue on this new scheme almost looks a touch paler... Does anyone know of good color matches for these new colors? I have the Gunze Mr. Color recommended mixes from the Aoshima C-2 kit instructions, but wanted to check to see if anyone had ventured to try to match them from other paint lines... Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo1974 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I need to find me one of those Aoshima C-2's at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757flyer Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 The Aoshima kit is on my list too, but the $60+ (US) pricing at this point is keeping it on the back burner. It would look great next to my Revell C-17, since it is a C-17 Lite.... Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 No idea, but Hasegawa will release a C-130 kit in that scheme. Let's wait and see what they think the colours are. http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/10835/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 They are Japanese specification colours unfortunately, but shouldn't be too difficult to match to model paints Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I foresee a new set from Gunze to cover them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 2 hours ago, Julien said: I foresee a new set from Gunze to cover them. Hopefully so, but there are a lot of modern Japanese colours not yet covered. Don't hold your breath Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757flyer Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks for the replies. I am certain Hasegawa will supply a good mix formula for the colors. Was trying to finish up a project in a different scale before the Hasey kit is released. I'm guessing the eyeball matching technique will be the best call for folks that don't have access to Gunze paints. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalea Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Dunno about 4-colour camouflage for C-130 0r C-2's but I've got Mr Color C374 Shallow Ocean Blue and C375 Deep Ocean Blue for my Sword U-125. For the 2 lighter greys Sword gives C323+C1 and C56+C1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The ocean blue shades are definitely not the same as used on the transport aircraft, whatever kit instructions might tell you Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
