Hi All,
I am new to the FSM forum and need little help as I have got myself thoroughly confused looking at threads both here and other sites trying to find the correct colors for my new Eurofighter model.
I intend to build it as per the Jagdgeschwader 73 ”General Steinhoff”, Laage, Germany, July 2009 scheme. Instructions show 2 main colors:
A = 25% 301, white silky matt / 45% 374, grey silky matt and 30% 55, light green matt
D = 371 light grey silky matt
I have always used Tamia paints as I find them easiest to get locally, but am strugglig to find the Tamiya equivalent (I seem to get conflicting stories from different sources?!?!)
From what I have determined I think:
A = XF19 or 20 (FS35237) but bought the XF20 and doesn't look right
D = XF 66
Is there anyone out there who has used Tamiya paints and found the right ones and can quickly help me out. I've literally spent hours trying to figure this out and it's driving me mad (Looked in the shop tody at some of the AS spray cans to use for color A as this is for 95% of the external color (I hand paint and have not yet progressed to spray guns.....will need a lot more experience before I try moving to that).
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me
Steve
Stay safe........Steve
