Spook498 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Good evening all. I am working on the Hobby Boss 1/48 A-7A, and am using the Super Scale sheet MS481234, for the VA-153 option. They sheet calls for FS25123 which I have not been able to find in an enamel color. Does anyone have a recommendation that would get me close to that shade? I use enamels, usually Model Master. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hasegawa did a 1/72 A-7A with VA-153 decals. Their instructions call for a mix of 70% Gunze H15 and 30% H25. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 FS15123 is the gloss version of the colour you are looking for, no match but a colour swatch here which may help you track down a close colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sleepy Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Don't forget to look at car colors. There is a veritable rainbow available, and while not FS595 matched, you can usually find something really close to help you mix you own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spook498 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thank you everyone. I found some Testors light blue today, that should do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Testors light blue, the stuff in the 1/4 oz bottles, is much too light compared to 25123. Even their Ford Engine Light Blue is too light. True Blue would be closer, if you can find it. I'd look in the Gunze or Vallejo paint ranges for something close to 25123. They have lots of primary color variations to chose from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, once I actually got the bottle home, shook up and ready to go, yes, it is too light. I have some gloss sea blue, so I was thinking of mixing to shade. For the most part, its one tail, on an A-7. Its not a normal shade of blue that I use often. I will need to play with it a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
