Anyone have any recommendations on which Vallejo paints to use for painting the Israeli Air Force 1970s/80s Tri-Color desert scheme? And the USAF Vietnam scheme. Reason I ask is, its hard to match the swatches online to what would be proper. Not had much luck around here finding Vallejo in a store to look at it first hand sadly. (One place does have them, mainly carries colors that are GW equivalent for 40k/Fantasy gaming etc) Sorry for all the new questions, I am just getting back into this after over a decade. Things have changed quite a bit. |

The modern aviation painting guide sub-board would have been a better place to post this. ;-) Here are a couple of topics that answer your question: Vallejo Color Suggestions for IAF Camo TMP link Vallejo colours for USAF in Vietnam? TMP link |

By the way, if you can find other brands than Vallejo in your neck of the woods, here is what I use on my models: Israeli Air Force three tone (1969-) Gunze H311 Brown FS 30219 Gunze H312 Green FS 34227 Gunze H313 Yellow FS 33531 Gunze H314 Blue FS 35622 USAF TAC South East Asian Scheme Vallejo 874 USA Tan Earth FS 34219 Lifecolor UA 142 French Khaki Lifecolor UA 052 Dark Green FS 34079 Vallejo 883 Silver Grey |
