The gray in the scrap piece underneath is gunship grey for reference. John This is a Swamp Fox jet a few years ago. The top is in direct sun which is pretty close to what you have.

wxltcol Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I see Colourcoats and True North paints include FS 36170 now. Wonder how they stack up? Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CFster Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Not to beat a dead horse, but just wondering if you’ve tested Tamiya’s mixes for FS36170? They give this mix in their F-35A instructions and people tell me it’s pretty close… 5 parts LP-15 IJN GRAY (or XF-91?) 1 part LP-59 NATO BROWN (or XF-68?) Thanks - CF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I feel like that wouldn't give the metallic sheen though, unless IJN Gray has it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that they did the mixes without the metalallic sheen. I think in 1/48 it's hard to replicate the sheen without it looking "fake". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
