cmyspots Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hello I am working on a Old Entex 707 Airforce one. The decals are bad as I expected, and would like to paint the main colors on. I would like to get as exact as in can in the colors. Anybody knows what they are would be a real help Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 cmyspots, I'll try to track down the color for you. My dad used to fly VC-135's in the 89th MAW. in the 70's and 80's. It might take me a few days. I've got that entex kit as well as a few KC's that I'm going to convert to VC's. Lenny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
majortomski Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Oddly enough, the Presidential fleet was never painted in FS 595 equivalent colors. The folks who had the contract for the paint custom mixed it so that you couldn't copy it, they just gave us a part number on the drawings. T.

terryt Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I used to be an member of the air crew of AF1 (VC-137C) and have built the Entex kit and the Airfix kit. I never used the decals because the windows never lined up on either kit. I also used Testors Metalizer to get the shiny aluminum. This required masking of the decal area and would lift the decals if masked. The paint I use is Pactra X-18 Sea Blue which is almost an exact match for the dark blue. For the light color I started with the Sea Blue and added white to get the lighter color. I used the Airfax decal sheet to match the colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erik Bultz Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have the 1/72 scale heller kit bout need someone to make me some 1/72scale tail markings and the presidential seals.

terryt Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Here is a link to a presidential seal you might want to download it and print it on decal paper. http://www.google.com/search?q=Presidentia....netscape:en-US As far as the tail number and the USAF you should download the Amarillo Font to make these. http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=amarillo The United States Of America font is times new roman. As far as printing instructions go here: http://www.beldecal.com/inkjet_decals.cfm They also sell decal paper cheaper than most places on the net. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
