Nigel Bunker Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I have acquired a Hobbycraft kit of this plane and would like to finish it in the overall grey scheme rather than the camouflaged scheme. I have two questions. 1. What colour grey should it be finished in? My guess is FS 36713 as it liiks similar to the Atlas C.1 and C-17 colour but I could be totally wrong. 2 Does anybody make Canadian Air Force decals for the CC-142?

martin_sam_2000 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 if you mean this one: Colour was FS26173 and decals can be found here:http://www.canmilair.com/proddetail.php?prod=460 They are a little pricey but the only real option for many Canadian aircraft.

skyhawk174 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 There is a dark blue scheme and I think decals were available from Draw Decal and I believe Leading Edge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 the dark blue was only on the CT 142 with the big nose. the CC were originally painted in 3 tone grey/green camo when they were in Germany Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) If you can find someone with access to the Leading Edge Decals (mine are packed away right now) try to get them to copy the instructions for you as it has some info on improving the kit. I recall taking off the ridge each side of the fin fillet (look at kit and you will see it) and reshaping the nacelles a bit as being some suggestions.....I was planning on doing one of mine in the three colour cammo and the "gonzo" in the dark blue scheme with the Leading Edge conversion....Sean is right on as to the overall grey colour (26173)...
