signals Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I primarily use Mr. Color lacquer paints and wanted to build a UASF F-16 in the thunderbirds scheme. Was wondering what the FS colors used by them are and the closest match I could find for Mr. Color for those? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Thunderbird colours are FS11136 Insignia Red, !5044 Insignia Blue, and well, White.(some say 17875) Can't help with the Mr Color match, I'm afraid Cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillS Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I don't have proof but these might not have FS equivalents. I was at Nellis in the mid 80s as a maintenance officer on F-16s.I saw those jets daily as they lived next door to my squadron. If they weren't FS they were dang close and the previous FS numbers are close if not exact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swimmer25k Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Many of the reds out there don't match TBird red. You need to match the red in the decals and not the label on the bottles. I've had good luck matching TBird red with Testors Italian Red and their little bottle red. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
