Irish Air Corps Green

[Martian]

I have just picked up the KP kit of the SIAI Warrior and want to finish it in Irish Air Corps colours. The kit is less than clear about what colour to use, just giving a number for an unspecified brand. What is the nearest Tamiya, Mr Hobby Aqueous or MRP colour to use? Bearing in mind that I am colour blind so ixing is not really an option.

 

Thanks in advance.

The actual colour used was a gloss dark green Akzo Nobel 042002 which is virtually identical to Forest Green FS 14079 used on many US aircraft. Hannants have it in gloss in their Xtracolor and Xtracrylic ranges. See link below:

Hope this helps.

That helps a lot Joe. I don't really get on with Hannants paints but it gives me a very good pointer.

I am using Mr.Color C309 FS34079 on my IAC Warrior or Mr.Hobby Aqueous H309 would be an alternative.

Which Orange did you use?

Thanks!

I ended up ordering up some Ammo Mig Forest Green.

Thank you, IIRC I used Vallejo Model Air Orange(71.083) as a base with a coat of Mr.Color Fluorescent Red(C171) on top to give it a bit of vibrancy.
