FS12197 International Orange

[antony robertson]

Hi all

I'm currently building a 1/48 NRF-4C in Edwards orange and white.

I'm looking for help in finding the correct colour orange (or a close enough match). I've looked on the ultimate paint conversion chart website and it says the only one available is made by Testors.

Does anyone know of any others that are close enough as Testors is quite difficult to get hold of here.

Thanks for your help

Do a search on this subject. There was quite an extensive forum on this not to long ago.

Hello Antony, I may have an easy way for you to get out of this Look here's a comparison chart. It has all major paint brands and their closest match to the FS 595/595A tables. Some brands you should find in the UK..

HTH

Added: In the lower left hand corner select the brand of paint available to ya and click on it, a column for it will appear on the chart and give you the match to the numbers on the far left column.

Xtracolour has International Orange in their range too. I bought it for my Edwards F-15B, but I thought it was too orange. It was, well, just orange, like the fruit. So I used ModelMaster Ferrari Red for my build. I think it looks good.

Here's a link to my build: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....howtopic=179293, see if you like it.

I guess you could try one of the Humbrol or Revell colours as a replacement.
