Tamiya AS Spray Alternatives


James V

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am currently building the excellent 1/32 scale F-16 CJ from Tamiya, probably one of the best kits I have ever built. I am having trouble with ther ASSpray codes to find an alternative to these and I want to ask other modellers on here if they have any Xtracolour/Xtracrylics or Vallejo or even the FS Numbers for the following:

AS-10 - Ocean Grey

AS-26 - Light Ghost Grey

AS - 27 - Gunship Grey

AS -28 - Medium Grey

If there are any f-16 or paint experts out there that can help me, I would be most greatful

James

Just found this on F-16.net. Dont know if it is right tho??

"36118 (Gunship Grey) on top

36270 (Neutral Grey) cockpit area, vertical stab, and bottom

choose any grey you like for the radome"

Can anyone confirm??

Yes, they're correct. All USAF F-16s were originally delivered in a three grey scheme (36270 and 36118 on the top, 36375 on the undersides). When going through a depot repaint the underside grey changed to 36270. The radome isn't painted but starts out as 36270 and darkens as it ages. For a detailed insight into the F-16 see the pinned thread on Zone-Five here:

The cockpit interior will be Dark Gull Grey FS 36321.

XV571,

Many thanks for your reply - Hopefully I can get started with the external colours now!
