cowie165 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I have Mr Color Tan, Radome and Rough Sand. They all seem pretty close but I was hoping for MWer opinion please. maxwinamp recently completed a VF-1D using Orange and Radome - the VF-1D and CF colours are slightly different. Any pointers would be appreciated! Thanks! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) I'm sorry but I'm a little unclear as to what it is you are asking. Do you want to know what the difference between those Mr Color shades is? or what color is called for in the instructions for the VF-1D vs. the Super "O"?, or something else? can you be a little more specific?

cowie165 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Sorry my post was muddled. Reading back on it now, it is pretty vague I wish to paint a VF-1A in CF colours. Which paint colour should I use please? Edited October 25, 2006 by cowie165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostryder Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 You want Yamato puppy-poo brown, or something that actually looks good ? I suggest you check out the first few pages of the custom 1/48 gallery, find a custom CF you like, and ask the builder what they used. I like the colors that Jung and Hayao Kakizaki used - they are quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegunny Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 The Hasegawa mix for the brownie is 40% H37 (Wood Brown) & 60% H1 (White) if that's any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
