XH668 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Finaly had the motivation to pick this one back up. Its the revell HP victor and i need revelle number 65 or bronze green (matt) Now ive looked it up on my revelle - humbrol conversion chat and i cant find it yet airfix do a bronze green number 75 will this one match ok?

Seamus Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 My advice would be to ignore the Revell colours completely! My guess would be that you actually want RAF Dark Green, not bronze green. It's available in a number of paint ranges- my preferred is Humbrol 163 HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XH668 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 OOO ok, cheers I gather that white and grry would be ok? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avro683 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 The grey is Medium Sea Grey which in the Humbrol range is 165 and is satin like the dark green. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McIntyre Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Although the paint appears a bit faded to my eye, these shots I took in the early-mid 80s may be useful: http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b229/DDonSS3/Victor/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avro683 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Great pics Don, thanks for sharing. I've added them to my favourites. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadillos Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Now when finishing the Victor you have to be careful as there was a mixture of finished across the fleet from satin, matt etc it all depends on the jet and the date that your depicting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Although the paint appears a bit faded to my eye, these shots I took in the early-mid 80s may be useful:http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b229/DDonSS3/Victor/ Great pics Don - seem to be taken at a US airshow - where? That machine is quite unusual as it seems to have a Hemp/Lt Aircraft Grey starboard underwing tank (with a gloss white rear fairing to the tank - the bit that moves with the flaps). Not so unusual is the Lt Aircraft Grey FR20B pod under the starboard wing - but all-in-all would make an interesting alternative to the standard scheme. Thanks for posting the link! cheers Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
