Bronze Green
Posted by jbrady on Saturday, March 12, 2011 2:22 PM

I use MM enamels and want to mix up something approximating bronze green... how far off is flat black added to interior green?

Thanx

No, SAC Bomber Green is good for RAF cockpits, but only good for drybrushing highlights for brinze green. Humbrol makes a good Bronze Green if you have access to thoise paints. Or are you looking in what a colors you already have?

I'll second MM USMC Green. 

In a pinch you could probably also use MM Euro I Dark Green. It's a better match for Dull Dark Green, but it'd probably be close enough to BG...

Just curiouse , what are you painting ?

A Grumman built TBF 1C. If it was an Eastern build I could use Interior Green. I think I'm close with Interior Green, Flat Black and Dark Green FS 34079... close enough at least.

Thanks for the help guys

Are you talking about true bronze patina, or a particular military's paint called bronze green?

I believe he is referring to the paint used by the US Military on many aircraft interiors before and during WWII.

Scroll down about 2/3 of the way on this page for more information
