IIAF / IRIAF "Asia Minor" color code problems

[Centurion-1 1,228]

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!

i made a lot of test to get the color somewhat right this is the colors i use , but I would not say that they are now the one and only right colors

-

sand  R,G,B = 207,175,116

green  R,G,B = 62,75,58

brown  R,G,B = 119,91,67

beige  R,G,B = 210,206,197

 

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

Thanks Volker! I will try those! And also if you want someone to test the IRIAF F-4Es, just give me the word

What colours does TK use on his DLC Iranian F-14 skins?

[+ravenclaw_007 7,622]

dont know i dont have it

[Wrench 9,801]

this is the _2 map from the AilCat DLC

[Centurion-1 1,228]

The colors on TKs IRIAF F-14 is way waaaay too washed out, like it has been standing in the sun for 5 years 

[Wrench 9,801]

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!!

 

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

[Centurion-1 1,228]

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?

 

 

[Wrench 9,801]

the other is waaay to yellow; almost like RLM SandGelb

 

wonder if RAF Middle Stone might not be closer??

Here's the RGB for it:

 

176

147

92

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

i will try to adjust it a bit more

and here you can see that they used at least 2 different green colors
