drdjp11 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Looks like Vallejo do a French color set 1939-1942, but it's from the descriptions it appears to be mostly just matched from paints they already have in their line. https://acrylicosvallejo.com/en/product/hobby/sets/air-war-en/armee-de-lair-colors-1939-to-1942-battle-of-france-and-vichy-af-71626/ I think I have most of these already, except for maybe the pale camo brown. There might be other color-matching cross references available for other paint lines. Given the random mixing and application in real life, not sure how much it's worth to pursue "exact: matches.

Evil_Toast_RSA Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 And roundals done. First time I've done this using cut masks, and need some practice, but damn, I'm liking this. Some light cleanup, and time for gloss coat->decals-->weathering. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Toast_RSA Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 After much faffing, it's done! Decals were a pain. Lost 2 small stencils, and the 6's were out of register on the fuselage. Weathered with oils, Paynes Grey for the panel lines, various others for the rest. Not happy with the 2 glass inserts behind the cockpit, needed to fettle them a bit more on hindsight. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
