mick555 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi, I have almost completed my 1/72 sue build, and just realised the instructions i have dont have the 2 tone version. so.... does anyone have a sheet with the painting instructions (picture of the pattern). :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Felinoid Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Mick, Not sure what you mean-the standard dark blue over white, as used in the Falklands War or the two-tone scheme adopted later? Felinoid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick555 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 whoops, sorry! i meant the two tone grey scheme adopted later and still used (not the overall 1 tone grey) like this one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob de Bie Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I have a scan of the Carpena decal sheet for the SE. Send me a message at robdebie xs4all nl Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El pibe vitina Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I have the Airfix instructions booklet with this scheme, PM and I will scan it. Cya! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick555 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Rob, sorry mate, I couldnt figure out what that address was? I'm guessing it was an email addy with a few characters missing? :) El Pebe, PM sent! I'm guessing you have a Sue done in the blue on white schem in argentine armada colours judging by the squadron badge in your avatar.

I didnt build my SUE yet, but you guess right, mine will be one of the Argentine Armada of course. Cya! Edited July 25, 2009 by El pibe vitina Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Humbrol 125/145 = Gunship Grey FS36118/Blue Grey FS35237 or Tamiya Dark Grey Xf24/Medium Grey XF20 - personally I think FS36118 is too dark at 1/72 scale, and I would add a drop of white just to lighten it up a tad.

mick555 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 firstly many thanks t oLuis for providing me with painting instructions, and giving me the correct email. massive thankyou! gunship grey, hey? seems far too dark, but i could be very wrong! I will have an experiment now and see what i can come up with. I think adding a drop or 2 of white to the 145 will make it pretty close to the light grey also. thanks for the help Adam!

El pibe vitina Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 What else would Luis make!!!(????) Hey Adam! Glad to see you here again...

But I cant resist to build Argentine planes. firstly many thanks t oLuis for providing me with painting instructions, and giving me the correct email. massive thankyou! You are always welcome. Cya!
