Nos Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi everyone, I will be building Revells Eurofighter and I want to make German version. As usualy Revell gives their own colors and you have to mix them. Can anyone tell me what colors are used? I will be using Xtracrylics. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bavarian Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Oh yes, the old problem with R.O.G. kits... In last time R.O.G. started to give you FS-Color numbers for the main Colors, as i have seen in the F-14 Kit, so i hope there is a light at the end of tunnel... The eurofighter of the luftwaffe ist, of course, NOT painted in BS standard colors. It´s the Luftwaffe, not the RAF... :D Interestingly, the Luftwaffe have changed ther Colors from the German RAL color system (a german color-System like FS, BS) to FS colors. For more information look here: http://www.jpsmodell.de/ I think the Eurofighter in Luftwaffe service must be, logical, painted in the same "new color scheme" that are used at the German Mig 29 / Tornados from 1990 upwards. And, if you want to build German Luftwaffe subjects with RAL Colours, the only Paint brand who has the correct RAL colurs ist R.O.G., sadly. X-tra Colur ist the one exception. I am mixing my RAL colors self from Gunze-Tamiya Acrylics, using a RAL color fan. But R.O.G will change his color-range completly from enamels to acrylics at the end of the year. Good news for me. ;) Maybe the R.O.G. acrylics will then be avialable overseas? We will see... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigercat Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Im sure that the GAF Eurofighters are not in the NORM90 scheme. Thay appear to be one colour on the upper surfaces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bavarian Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 If i could trust my eyes.. B) and the pictures posted by Tornado-Nut.. (thanks!) It seems that the Eurofighter is painted in the Color the Phantom and Tornado are painted in the "Middle" of the Fuselage, except the Nose, Rudder, and Wingtips. Its a kind of Blue-Gray, you agree? According to JPS Colors FS 35237 Blue-Gray is the right one... And if ROG finaly would be able to give us FS-BS-RAL Numbers in the instructions, we dont have to guess the right colors here..
