Modern French Armor color accuracy (for my Puma and Gazelle helos)

[Glynn Jacobs]

Hi All,

 

Anybody here know which modern French Armor colors are more accurate, Hataka or AK Interactive?

 

I am (eventually) building a French Army Puma and an A.L.A.T. Gazelle (as soon as Air Graphics produces their Gazelle up-date with Vivianne sight!) and will be using the armor Terre Brun, Noir, and NATO Vert I.R. 

 

Any thoughts and assistance will be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Hello

 

You could use either Hataka or Tamiya paint ranges. I do not know that from AK Interactive.

Hi Patrick,

 

Any thoughts on the accuracy of these colors?  I am having a very hard time getting accurate French colors for my Mirage III, Mirage IV, SeM, Super Frelon, Mirage 2000C, Cruze, and Rafael M too.

 

I wish SOMEONE in France would start a paint company that produced accurate colors for all my French birds!

 

Merci Bien,

 

Glynn

Hi

 

For me they are spot on depending on the level of weathering you are making on.

I have found that the french Nato Green is a lot lighter than say the German version. AK real colours are a real close match to the NATO  3 tone used by the French
