Unglued Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm loading up a 1/72-scale French Naval Air F4U-7 with the 5-inch HVAR unguided rockets used by the French in Indo-China in the 1950s, and I need to know what color to paint these things. I can't seem to find anything helpful on the internet, let alone in the Italeri kit instructions (kit No. 1313) In photos, the rocket motors appear to be off-white, and the warheads darker, possibly olive drab. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Recommend dull silver/metallic grey for the rocket motor and olive drab for the warhead. IIRC, the French used U.S. HVAR's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
