MattP Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Does anybody have an idea of what/how the IAF has painted their F-35I Adir's??? I've seen photo-shopped pix of a standard sand-green-brown over grey bottom. and F-35A standard of grey all over. Anybody have any clue on which it is? Thank you in advance!

Dmanton300 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 36170 grey. Like every other F-35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 The F-35 comes in any colour you want as long as you only want grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Only variation is that newer production aircraft don't have the lighter grey RAM panels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattP Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) What's the best rattle-can color? I'm doing a 1/144 scale desk-top commission (the kit is from a company called F-Toys "High-Spec") and I don't want or need complicated...

MattP Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) HOLY CRAP... I said the one phrase that negates ALL discussion... "1/144"... WOW!... I'm doing an F-toys F-35 on a name plate/penholder... WHY?? MattP Edited June 14, 2018 by MattP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Spray can? There isn't likely to be a close match. Being the newest official color, three or four minor paint companies have begun making 36170 , but it isn't widely available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would suggest to the OP to review this thread (here on ARC) from a few months ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattP Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Ytsejam87, Thanks for the connection to the thread! As It's a 'quick' build. I think I'll got with Tamiya's XF-54 Dark Sea Grey as I happen to have it in my paint stash. Thank you all for the assist!!! MattP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattP Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Ilias, I'm doing it in 1/144 scale, I appreciate the info but the site only has decals for LARGE A/C in that scale. I will watch the site in hopes that they produce 1/144 Adir decals... MattP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ilias Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Oops 🙂 I am sure someone will issue them in 1/144. In the meantime, creating your own may be the path here... No experience on this scale but I would assume it's better to use decals than paint using masks etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattP Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Ilias, from looking at the decal set at Isradecals, it looks like pretty standard F-35 markings with the exception of the subdued IAF roundels. I guess I could experiment with masking and painting. But in 1/144 scale that's going to be a tiny mask. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
