Trying to get a close color match for a Canadair Mk.5 Sabre speed brake color

[BWDenver]

The attached shots of the speed brakes on a US Army Canadair Mk 5 drone operated by Flight systems Inc.

 

The color appears to be close to FS 35193. If it were an American F-86 it would likely be Interior Green. But this is not a US built Sabre.

 

Does anyone know of a model paint that is close?

 

Thanks in advance…

plain old dark green, I use MM FS34095.   Your photos have some sun bleaching of the green.   i wouldn't sweat it too much

Interior Green is correct; I did a paint match from a genuine Canadair Sabre panel and it's the same as the NAA colour. IIRC it's close to Vallejo Refractive Green.

Thanks Duncan,

 

Always nice to have a part on hand to do a match with!   Looks like the local "Jeff Bezos hobby supply house" has the paint in stock as they are offering same day delivery...

 

The drone ramp at Holloman was an interesting corner of the field.  They had two EF-10's and an A3D, all US Army marked.  Could not get a shot of the A3D, but I did get the EF-10's.  One blue, the other white and red.

Nice shot, thanks for sharing!

Bryan,

 

These are my trials. I see in fact that I mixed a small amount of Flat Green and Black with the Refractive Green to get the exact shade. You can see two dots of paint from each bottle on the panel in the first image. Hopefully that will demonstrate where the shades need to go from there.

 

This panel came from the aft fuselage underside and so didn't get any sunlight/fading. Also shown is a pretty much 100% "out of the bottle" match for the yellow chromate primer with Vallejo Yellow Ochre. Panels which were not quick release/regular maintenance access were painted this colour.

Ah, this was the info I was looking for! Thanks @Sabrejet and @BWDenver

FWIW that is NOT US Interior green. It is more akin to Dull Dark Green or 34092. That airplane and 2 or three others were sitting in my divisions hanger at Holloman in the 81-2 timeframe. NAA employed that color on the F-100 as well. Int. green is more yellow or olive.
