unknown paint code ?
Posted by tom saunders on Sunday, January 30, 2011 5:37 PM

hi just picked up a cyber hobby wing tech  ME 109 AND THERE IS A MYSTERY PAINT CALLED FOR AND NO SUCH CODE IN THE INSTRUCTIONS  . THEY LIST THREE NUMBERS AND THEN EXPLAIN THE COLOR BY PRODUCT I CHOSE THE MODEL MASTER ENAMEL  . the inside of the fuselage which is visable in the cockpit and also in the tail wheel bay. it calls out a code of h80 54  you take this number and go to your instructions and it tells you which paint to use but there is no such paint  listed  in the instructions  if i had to wing it i would paint it a olive drab any one know which color should go there ?

H80 54 sounds like call out from the Gunze lines of paints. Since it is a Cyber Hobby/Dragon kit, and they have always recommended the Gunze lines for use with their kits, try looking there.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Stik has it nailed. These are GSI Creos/Gunze Sangyo codes. There are two primary lines of paint made by GSI Creos, - Aqueous Hobby Color (IIRC no longer sold in the US, some stores may have some on hand but they are not being replenished) acrylics and Mr Color (lacquers)

H80 is the Aqueous Hobby Color code and 54 is the Mr Color code

PS: The colour referred to by both codes is "Khaki Green"

I figured (by looking at the instructions and where the paint codes point) that its interior green. Just use your choice of interior green on those areas.
