peter havriluk Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) I'm assembling an Airfix 1/72 SB2C Helldiver. For underwing stuff, and internal ordnance, I've figured out that iron bombs can be painted OD, and it seems as if rockets can, too. As for drop tanks, the pictures vary considerably, OD, bare aluminum, white when the undersides are white, blue when the undersides are blue. For a sea blue/intermediate blue/white airplane, any ideas as to what colors are usable? The artwork I've found for the particular airplane Airfix is modelling, nobody's depicted rockets/bombs/drop tanks. Thanks, folks.

dnl42 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Can't help with your question, but this was a Curtiss aircraft ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PFlint Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 rockets were usually painted white or left in unpainted steel. there was also a radar pod that often gets mistaken for a drop tank : drop tanks are usually carried in pairs. :) ANA 601 is basically flat (matte) white. for ANA 606 & 607 sea blue I use Testos 4660 or 1111 for ANA 608 Intermediate Blue I use Pollyscale Great Northern Sky Blue with a little white (this is actually a color for locomotives) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
