The Rat Posted January 30, 2024 Share Posted January 30, 2024 I'm sure that someone has done a Buffalo Airways aircraft, just wondering if they would know the shade of green used, and what brand. It's a 'What if?' so I'll also have to try to crank out my own decals. Decal sets are available, but probably wouldn't fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 I do not know, perhaps someone has an old Leading Edge sheet of a Buffalo airframe they did a few years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 If getting the proper green turns out to be a hassle, there's always silver ... 😁 https://www.airliners.net/photo/Buffalo-Airways/Canadair-Conroy-CL-44-O-Guppy (we'll just gloss over getting the proper red for the cheat line stripe as the question here is green, not red) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Rat Posted January 31, 2024 Author Share Posted January 31, 2024 Got a 404 error on that link. My heart is set on green, it just looks right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkin mad Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 I have read that Vallejo Model Color 70.838 Emerald mixed with Vallejo Model Air 71.001 White in the ratio of approx 3:1 is close. It's too dark out of the bottle without adding white. ------------- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AcostaKJ Posted April 11, 2024 Share Posted April 11, 2024 If you can find some, Floquil NYC Jade Green is a near perfect match. Tru-Color, which IS available, also makes a NYC Jade Green, but I haven't confirmed that it's as good a match. Worth checking out though. Ken A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted April 17, 2024 Share Posted April 17, 2024 I too have been looking at building the Buffalo Airways aircraft after watching few of their shows on YouTube. Ken, looks like to nailed it. This color sure looks very close the green on their aircraft’s. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still partial to the green, but that's a possible alternative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
