What do you use to make beige green?
Posted by IHATEALASKA on Thursday, December 17, 2009 7:13 PM

I just picked up a Supermarine Spitfire and was looking at the colors and seeing how I can't get a hold of Humbrol products I was thinking about us OD Green and a l White.  Any suggestions or should this work.

Hi Wes,

If the "beige green" you're looking for is for the underside of the Spitfire, then you're looking for RAF "Sky Type-S" - Model Master has it as #2049. In Tamiya it would be XF-21.

Okie Dokie, that helps but I thought I was talking about the Cockpit color.  Thought I was right on.  That's what I get for thinking right.  I hope I'm not color blind wouldn't be good in my job.

Hey Wes,

If you're looking at the cockpit colour, it would be RAF Interior Green, Model Master #2062

Tamiya don't have this "out of the bottle", the nearest would be (IJN) Cockpit green, XF-71, or a mix of XF-5 Flat Green with XF-2 Flat White
