                        Hello all.

                        I am trying to paint ejection seat of F/A-18. The kit is Revell Blue Angel and the instructions designate Olibe drab for the cushions, when I look at reference pictures the color indeed reminds me of olives.
                        I use Model Master enamels, but comparison tables I have don't show any similar color. I would appreciate any suggestions as to the correct color by Model Master.

                        According to the painting instructions included with True Details resin cockpit interiors, the seat cushions of modern ejection seats should be Khaki FS 34088 or Black FS 37038. The Khaki FS 34088 looks just like the standard WW2 Olive Drab FS 34087, only very slightly darker. I would use 34087. It would look just right for scale. Wink [;)]
