peter havriluk Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Does anyone know of a rattle-can paint that can do a believable job of imitating this Luftwaffe color? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I thought Tamiya had a good rattle can, I don’t recall the # Try some GoogleFu: Tamiya paint match for RLMxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter havriluk Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Thanks! I have the Tamiya acrylic brushing black green, but they don't offer a rattle-can lacquer in black green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seawinder Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 As I posted to the corresponding thread (Britmodeller? Hyperscale?), IMHO Tamiya AS-1 IJN Dark Green (1) should get you pretty close, and probably as close as any other spray can you're likely to find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter havriluk Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Thanks! Got some in the paint locker. I'll test it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peter havriluk Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks, folks. I have both AS-1 and TS-9, and I made up test strips of the 2 rattle-cans and XF-27, the brushing acrylic. Both the spray cans seem to be much 'greener' than the acrylic. I'll look tomorrow after everything finishes drying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter havriluk Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 I found that using Tamiya's Luftwaffe 'dark green' as the darker green on the Dornier 24T and Tamiya's RAF 'dark green' for the lighter green looked good to me, and that's what I did. The crime is complete. There is a decent separation between the shades of green that using Tamiya's xf-27 acrylic as the darker green and Luftwaffe dark green as the lighter green didn't afford, I could hardly tell them apart. Thanks, everybody. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
