MattyMears Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hey Guys, im about to start my HobbyBoss F/A 18C in the markings of Chippy Ho. it says to use humbrol 128 for the top and humbrol 127 for the bottom, the top colour ive seen seems way to blue for the hornets, any help would be great , Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The top coat should have a blue tinge to it, sometimes depending on light it may not seem as blue as it is out of the paint shop. But check your references, and try and find build articles with paint specs. I am far from an expert and will step aside when someone with an expert opinion steps in.

Mike C Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hornets are painted Dark Ghost Grey up top and Light Ghost Grey at the bottom. Both have a bit of blue tinge to 'em. Not sure about Humbrol paints, but I find Gunze's H307 and H308 are pretty darned accurate representation of these colours. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
