Shogun Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Close All I can do is paint the colors that I see. Going from light to dark, #1 grey is on, and we are painting #2 grey now.

bdthoresen Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Shogun- Looking good so far. I agree with Frank that the second gray could use a tinge of blue/purple…… I was going back through your thread and suddenly remembered I wanted to build this airframe in 48th scale using the Kinetic kit. I had stockpiled some Model Master enamels that I had found matched the colors fairly well out of the bottle, made some notes, and then had “squirrel syndrome” moving on to other projects. I can have a rummage for my notes and share my findings with you if you like….. Still, solid work so far! Thor, still a huge fan…..

I think it 's the light bulbs and what they do to the colors that confused me. If you can match the colors on Double O, sock it to me. I have the Model Master color guide but I just couldn't figure out the colors for some reason. I'll take another look at the color guide though Thanks for your support!

bdthoresen Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hey Cal- went a rummaging through my notes and paint stocks to find what I had stockpiled for the F-21, here is what I had. The Furball Aero sheet (generally these people’s research has been impeccable!) had the colors for your scheme listed as the following- FS 36307 Light Sea Gray FS 35237 Medium Gray FS 36251 Agressor Gray Looking at my Model Master chip chart, they did not look like the colors in your photos. I had notes that these colors in the Model Master line were not quite right. So I pulled them and took a photo of them in natural light, and sunlight- Not enough contrast in either situation. The darker gray has no violet tinge to it, and the blue is far too washed out to be the base color. I had noted the light grey, Model Master FS 36307 Light Sea Gray was almost perfect. I also noted that I wanted to use Model Master RLM 75 Grauviolett and Model Master Navy Blue Gray as substitutes. So I went a rummaging, and found them. Here are comparison shots in the same lighting conditions- My plan was to lighten everything a bit during post shading to get that weathered effect you see in most photos of the USN/USMC Kfirs. But as base colors these were the closest I could find. So, in summary- FS 36307- use MM Light Sea Gray FS 35237- use MM Navy Blue Gray FS 36251- use MM RLM 75 Grauviolett Again, I would use them as base colors, then post shade, or perhaps mix the darker colors with a bit of white of post-shading is not your thing….. Hope this helps……and now I want to build a Kfir again………crap….. Thor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
