Chris Hannover - Germany Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks Graham, now i just need to know the codes for the Acrylic Range, as i want to spray them by airbrush. Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi Chris it looks like Tamiya don't do the colours in the acrylic range see link, so it looks like you will have to try another manufacturer http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/lis...at/kit81301.htm Graham.

toadwbg Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 These are simple to mix from Tamiya- I don't have the formulas on me right now but maybe someone else will post them, if not I'll try later tonight. I just did this on 2 builds and I was very happy with the resutls. Love airbrushing Tamiya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-M Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi, Hopefully this helps some: Tamiya paint http://www.thejackalsquadron.com/tips/tamiyapaint.html http://www.dana-nield.com/tamiya/ http://www.hotel.wineasy.se/ipms stuff_eng_colorcharts_tamiya.htm This is what you can find on Tamiya instructions sheet : LUFTWAFFE RLM 02--> XF22:1 + XF49:1 or just XF-22 RLM 65--> XF23:1 + XF2:1 RLM 71--> XF62:1 + XF49:1 RLM 74--> XF24:3 + XF27:2 RLM 75--> XF24:5 + XF50:1 RLM 76--> XF2:7 + XF23:1 + XF66:2 RLM 79--> XF59:3 + XF64:1 RLM 80--> XF58 RLM 81--> XF51:1 + XF64:2 RLM 82--> XF5 or XF5:1 + XF2:1 or XF5:1 +XF3:1 (Bright Green) RLM 83--> XF61 or XF24:1 + XF51:1 or XF24:1 +XF51:1 (Dark Green) RAF: INTERIOR GREEN---> XF5:1 + XF21:3 + XF65:1 DARK GREEN--> XF58:1 + XF62:5 DARK EARTH--> XF52:1 + XF64:1 OCEAN GRAY--> XF18:1 + XF21:2 + XF24:2 MIDSTONE------> XF59:1 + XF60:1 SKY----------------> XF21 MED. SEA GRAY--> XF19:3 + XF54:5 AZURE BLUE---> X16:2 + XF2:10 + XF18:5 FAA COLORS Extra Dark Sea Grey: To 50 parts of XF24 (dark grey), add 6 parts XF2 (white), and 3 parts XF8 (flat blue). Dark Slate Grey: To one bottle of XF22 (RLM Grey), add 35 drops of XF7 (red), and 125 drops of XF1 (flat black). "RLM Grey" (XF-22) is a good match for "Slate Grey", used for RAF Coastal Command finishes, as well as Fleet Air Arm colors. "Dark Sea Grey" (XF-54) is a good match for "Dark Sea Grey," used for Coastal Command and FAA camouflages. This is also good for the US "Equivalent Color" for "Ocean Grey" ANA 603, used on Mustang IIIs, etc. '"RLM Gray" (XF-22) for "Slate Grey" “Light Sea Grey” (XF-25) for "Light Sea Grey" "Sky" (XF-21) - I think this is the most accurate version of this color. "Sky Grey" (XF-19) is perfect for the "Sky Grey" color used on FAA aircraft before they went with the "Sky" lower surfaces, also for the US "Equivalent Color" used for ANA 602 "Medium Grey" (XF-20) is good as "Sea Grey Medium," the lower surface camouflage for RAF aircraft after 1941.

Allan Peters Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Sea Blue XF17:5 parts + XF8:3 parts + XF2:2 parts Intermediate Blue XF18: 5 parts + XF2: 4 parts Adjust the amount of white to suit your taste for fading, etc. Worked very well on my VF-17 Corsair.

Chris Hannover - Germany Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks all! Is the Sea Blue the same as Navy Blue? Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Peters Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi Chris, The short answer is yes they are the same, sort of. Tamiya XF-17 Sea Blue straight from the bottle is to dark and has a greenish tint, that is why the mixing formula. The AS-8 Navy Blue is very close to the US Navy Sea Blue of the WWII and Korean War era but is of course in a spray can and not an acrylic. The correct term for this blue is Non Specular (flat) Sea Blue, assuming you are doing a tri-colour scheme. The 'Navy Blue' name often confuses people and shouldn't be used. All the other paint manufactures that make the Sea Blue colour call it that, I don't think anyone other than Tamiya calls it 'Navy Blue'. I hope I haven't confused the matter further. May I ask what you are working on? Maybe we can be of more specific help. Regards, Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Whitelock Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Allan, I started with your sea blue mix. I found using XF17:56 parts + XF8:4 parts + XF2:1 parts Looked to get me closer to the AS-8 color Thank you so much for the original mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
