GMK Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 What is the recommended colour match for the blue of Max's Valk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Which one? The TV type or the DRYL Type? Both are different. I'll look up the paint codes when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Ummmm, TV? The VF-1A at any rate. I wouldn't mind looking at both though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 There were TWO versions of the VF-1A for Max. TV VF-1A Blue - Mr Hobby / Gunze Acrylics Bright Blue H15 or 65 for Enamels DYRL VF-1A Blue - Mr Hobby / Gunze Acrylics Medium Blue H56 (80%) + White H1 (20%) or Enamels 72 (80%) + 1 (20%) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be cobalt blue. That is what I did with my custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 DYRL VF-1A Blue - Mr Hobby / Gunze Acrylics Medium Blue H56 (80%) + White H1 (20%) or Enamels 72 (80%) + 1 (20%) Is that a perfect match for the 1/48 blue they used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 For the Yamato 1/48 blue, I actually had to mix Mr. Color's H56 bright blue and cobalt blue to get a good match. Mr. Color's Colbalt blue is too dark (look at it under sunlight) by itself. I'll dig out the color code when I get home. I forgot the ratio though so you have to play around with it. I believe it was 40:60 Others have said Testors Model Master's Colbalt blue is really close which I might try with the next Max VF-1S, but so far, mixing the two has the best results.
