Macbain Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Gents, I am using a set of masks and stencils to spray the markings on my 1/32 Academy F/A-18C in a US Navy scheme. Does anyone know the FS colour the marking are, and if possible the Gunze or even Tamiya equivalent? Thanks in advance, Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty sure all US Hornets (both USN and USMC) use FS36320 on upper fuselage, and FS36375 on lower fuselage. Gunze Aqueous has these colours (H307 and H308). Tamiya does not have anything that closely resembles these colours, unfortunately.

j-basset Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Steve, The stencils on F/A-18 aircraft are usually in FS 35237 or FS 36081. It could be either colour, or a combination of both, therefore some research on the specific aircraft will have to be done. FS 35237 is Gunze 337 or H337 FS 36081 is Gunze 301 or H301 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Macbain Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks. To clarify it was the stencils and national insignia I was after, but thanks to you both. I am off to do some now, I will post up the results when I do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Steve, The stencils on F/A-18 aircraft are usually in FS 35237 or FS 36081. Isn't 35237 a bit too dark for USN Hornet? The RAAF Hornets do use 35237 for the upper fuselage though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dedalus Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Mike C., I don't think you get it. He is not talking about the overall colors, but rather that the markings--the stars and bars, etc., I gather. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
