Agreed

I got some paint in the other day, SMS Camo Brown FS30219. I thought it looked too dark

Trying to get a brown that looks right is hard to do, especially for the AVG colors. And I've wanted to open the cowl flaps for decades.

I did end up using the FS numbers for my colors. These are Australian made acrylic lacquers, ready to spray.

FS36440, light gull grey, underside of plane.
US Interior Green, as on label for the interior.
FS30118, Dark Earth for the overall plane color.
FS34092, 1 part, FS34079, 2 parts. Green camo mix.
The green ha a brighter hue without being to bright, or dull.

 

[N4521U]

Just an overall semi-gloss clear and a few add-ons. to go.
Rudder, guns, gear doors, antennae..............
