I have this one waiting to go and was wondering what colour you used for the blue.

The topside blue is a mix 1x AK Acrylic Dark Sea Grey + 1x Humbrol Acrylic 104 Oxford (dark) Blue. FWIW the "green" is Humbrol Acrylic 155 Olive Drab, and the undersides are 2x Revell Acrylic 79 Blue-Grey + 1x Revell Acrylic 76 Light Grey and Revell Acrylic Silver.

 

It was an empirical formula - I had three or four goes on my paint mule until I got something that looked about right.

 

Regards,

Adrian

Thanks very much.

That will help me when I finally get round to it.

A lovely build of one of my favourite jets. You've nailed the finish, and the overall impression is excellent. Top work.

Great model Adrian.. I recall making the Airfix ? 1:72 version as a kid.. it got painted in red poster paint if i recall correctly lol .. my pocket money didn't extend to buying enamel paints then! Seeing your model bought back these memories! Cheers

I'm certainly loving Hobby2000 and Hasegawa for this one...
