HaroldK Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi, Anyone with some advice on a close match of the green colour used by Buffalo Airways on their aricraft would be greatly appreciated. I have a C-46, DC-4 and DC-3 I would like to do in their colours. Even if their is a off the shelf spray can or formula that I can get mixed would be helpful. Best regards, Harold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCoulter52 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) I'll see what I can come up with, Harold. It looks almost like a Chevrolet Teal, maybe a little darker. Randie Edited April 12, 2011 by RCoulter52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skidbuggy Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Harold, I'm not sure if you have the Leading Edge decal sheet for their DC-3 C-GPNR. On that sheet, there is a mixing ratio for Model Master paints. I have the sheet at the house down in CT; when I get down there after work I'll post it, unless someone here can do it sooner.

Andy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi Guys I found two paint matches for the Buffalo Airways green. Perfect match is Gunze H46 Emerald Green Close second is Xtracolor X311 Aer Lingus New Dark Green Cheers Andy Toronto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Kohona Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Please do not take this as me being a smart alec, but how about contacting them directly (email), maybe they will tell you the actual color they use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well what good would the actual colour do for you? You still have to match it to what paint is available. I have had access to the aircraft in Red Deer and Yellowknife so I was able to come up with a model paint match. cheers Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZOOMER Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have access to the aircraft in Red Deer as well. Plus Buffalo gear (T shirts, hats, desktop models, etc.) across from my office. Cheers all!! Happy new year. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
