+Stratos Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Wondering If anyone can provide some info on this colours and letters used on this Firefly. I will love to know, the name of the colours used for the cammo. And If possible the font used on the codes. Thanks a lot!
+Wrench Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Extra Dark Sea Grey Dark Slate Grey and either FAA Sky (NOT RAF sky) or Medium Sea Grey dependin on East Indes fleet or BPF Edited November 12, 2012 by Wrench
+Wrench Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 font wise (had to check some of my FAA mods), you "get away with" ArmilloUSAF or USAAFCode. the RAF/RCAF fonts are too thin and too rounded "N" is the code for HMS IMPLACABLE

+Stratos Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 Wondering If someone have the values for those three colours. They will be better, as the pdf book is claryfing but can't use it to select the colour. About the font, Amarillo USAAF will work, thanks Wrench!
+Soulfreak Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Every skilled skinner knows http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/ there are a lot of colorcharts with rgb numbers stored. maybe you should have a look there? Ah and there are tons of military fonts available too.... Amarillo won´t fit... UK always use their own style of font... ;-) Edited November 13, 2012 by Soulfreak

+Wrench Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 again, depenging... a lot of the LendLease airraft had markings applied at the factory (Grumman, Vought, etc), and 'american style' paints and codes were applied. on the Martlets I just released, the Mk.IV (iirc) uses 'american' style lettering. Sometime we use the 'best closest fit' but if someone come up with the exact font, I could sure it!!!
+Stratos Posted September 17, 2013 Author Posted September 17, 2013 Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but what do you thin about the colours used on the Seafire and the Firefly? Also can't find the exact marking used on those planes, anyone have it?
+Wrench Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 what about the colors? They're standard FAA and/or USN (in the Hellcat II's case) have you looked in the WW2 downloads section? I've done shitloads of FAA (Home Fleet, EIF and BPF) skins and decals
+Stratos Posted September 18, 2013 Author Posted September 18, 2013 what about the colors? They're standard FAA and/or USN (in the Hellcat II's case) So something like FAA Sky and Medium Sea Grey? have you looked in the WW2 downloads section? I've done shitloads of FAA (Home Fleet, EIF and BPF) skins and decals Will check it! Thanks.
