I am driven nuts by the iranian Asia Minor color scheme:

 

1) Is the same colors used on all Iranian birds (F-4D/E, F-5E, F-14A)? It seems like the green on the F-5Es is a lot more olive drab while on the F-14s the green is more blueish but this seems illogical to have different paint for different birds.

 

2) What RGB / Hex values have you been using, for example Volker on the IRIAF F-4Es? I'd like to have uniform values across the board, but I have not been able to settle on a good set of values.

 

Thank you!

these colors are a result of many F-4/F-5 pictures I have compared

 

i think that the colors for all aircraft are the same , it's just that the colors always appear different depending on the pictures you have , the screen you use ,the weathering or age of the camo, etc.

as soon as you add your weathering or wear to the collor the appearance is changing again ,

 

same colors with weathering

Yah, seriously! You'd think the IRIAF would at least throw a tarp over it to keep it clean! Or park it in the garage!! :biggrin:

 

don't forget, too, he uses a "noise" on the painted sections, where most of us a "clouds" layer. For mine I use 50% grey and 75% grey and fade to 10-15%, depending on the base colors

So yeah.. Now I am even more confused. I tried Volkers color codes and I do like the green and brown but the tan/ sand seems too yellow to me?

Before getting Volkers color codes I had tried to base my colors on the Federal Standard color codes Tom Cooper lists in his IRIAF Tomcat book. But those didnt look right either as they were. So after some tweaking I used these colors:

Thoughts? Which ones do you like best?

as i mentioned above , it depends on what you have as reference you can have pictures with a shiny yellow and some with a more flat sand color
