I will check out Revell, Hataka has a boxset for this specific aircraft. Edited June 15, 2021 by ride to live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those might be good as they are made to match relatively. Though hataka is not 100% on all colours they make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filler Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 @ride to live, this is probably not what you wanted as such, but the instructions from Hasegawa's 1983 1/48 scale F-4F boxing (that features two schemes) gives the following Gunze references; RAL7009 Green Grey: H4 (35%), H1 (30%), H2 (30%), H7 (5%) RAL7012 Basalt Grey: H1 (63%), H2 (27%), H4 (6%), H7 4% RAL7030 Stone Grey: H325 = H51 RAL7035 Light Grey: H1 (98%), H2 (1.5%), H4 (0.5%) RAL7037 Dust Grey: H306 = H1 (50%), H2 (30%), H5 (10%), H43 (10%) RAL7039 Quartz Grey: H1 (33%), H2 (29%), H4 (23%), H7 15% RAL6014 Yellow Olive: H304 = H52 And all of those with a dash of H40 Flat base. 7001 Silver Grey doesn't feature for some reason. So unless you're a highly skilled chemist, if I were you I'd go with the Hataka paints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless you're a highly skilled chemist, if I were you I'd go with the Hataka paints. One look and already turning away . RAL6014 is definitely not H304, which on itself is not H52. H78 is much closer but a bit too brown. Mind you, H304 is a great flat ww2 US OD on small scale. Edited June 15, 2021 by Steben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filler Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 @Steben, not sure if Hasegawa made that very clear, but Hx = Hx I think means a 50/50 mix of the two colours. So RAL7037 is a mix of 50% H306 and 50% of four other colours combined. Complicated and wether they make good matches or not (I’ve no idea) I’d be inclined to use Hakata just for the easy life! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
