UKPonchoMan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm in the process of a batch build of Aggressors but am having problems with the Fulcrum scheme. I know the underside is FS36495, but I have 3 different references for the upper surface - FS35414 (Don Color), FS35164 (Don Color and Afterburner) or FS35352 (unknown reference). The pics I have (F-16D 86-041) show it to be a green/grey - nothing like FS35164 but closer to the FS35352 or FS35414 (both of which are very similar). Can you guys help here?

Netz Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'd pick the one that you think is closer to the correct color according to your eye. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I recall seeing a photo lineup of the Fulcrum-Falcons revealed at least two different shades were used for the darker color. I *think* 35237 was used as one of them, I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Walker Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 There were 2 colours used. The first version was a light lime-ish green-grey, the second was a darker, more "grey" grey. Can't help with numbers though, sorry, my refs are in Australia. !! Cheers, M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Camus272 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) There were 2 schemes - one with 35414 (#69 is the only one I'm sure of) and one with 35164 (#s 07, 39, 64). Brian Edited October 21, 2008 by Camus272 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UKPonchoMan Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yes, I think the Afterburner sheet covers the later, darker scheme (FS35164), whilst the aircraft I'm modelling (86-041) is in the earlier scheme (FS35414) - I guess I'll go with that and see how it turns out... Thanks for the advice guys! Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
