f-14a flight suit colors, ejection seat colors
Posted by phoneguy on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 7:18 PM

I'm looking for the right colors to paint the figures for a 1/48th scale F-14a Tomcat, specifically their flight suits and also the paint colors for the ejection seats and harnesses.  I am working on an Academy F-14a (the CAG bird based on the USS Kitty Hawk in 2003).  Any help would be appreciated.

B-29 Superfortress

1/48th A-6E Bomber

flight suits will be your standard olive drab.

 

This pic should help you out with the bang seats....

Try matching colors to various seats found in here:

Just look for the Tomcat seats..

Flightsuits for most US pilots and aircrew not involved in Desrt Ops are Sage Green, although I don't have a number for that, since I mix colors for that shade...
