alouette2 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Good day, Am building the Shorts Skyvan in Nordair colours and would need the closest match for the blue they used. I have the Whiskey Jack decals but the blue is too dark from what I was told. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Which scheme? Photo? Car colors are probably your best bet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alouette2 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Which scheme? Photo? Car colors are probably your best bet. It's their older scheme,white with a blue stripe with lt. grey bottom and blue tail fins. Will check out the car colours. Regards, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Chris I seem to remember the Nordair blue was Royal Blue. In any case the closest colour match I've found is Tamiya X-3 Royal blue. Here's an example. (The model is the 1:72 Williams Brothers C-46F, modified to a C-46E by the addition of a stepped windshield instead of the greenhouse. The decals are Whiskey Jack.)

Trevor Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Model Masters French Blue looked pretty close when I painted my 737. Trevor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to build a model of a Nordair DC-4 - CF-IQM - later on this year, I'll check that out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
