Seaking Mk48

I'll be following this.

Łukasz Gliński
Me too, hope to learn a bit and get some inspiration before opening my Heller box.

Nils Steyaert
i have the heller box aswell, my advise, its only good as a source of decals.
thats why i went with the more superiour and easier to come by, revell kit with DACO decals.
compared to the heller kit, its more accurate, and more detailed (full interior).

Ekki
What are you using for the brown?

Łukasz Gliński
Well Nils, I bought mostly because of sentimental reasons (always wanted to have a Heller kit painted in the boxart Belgian camo), but thanks for the advice 🙂

Hello Friends, DACO recommends on his new website dacoproducts.com/ humbrol 148 (radome tan )+ a bit of yellow for the stone color and humbrol 105 ( fs 34097) for the green .
I have built the Revell kit as the black Sea King with Daco decals DCD7273 and I have the airfix/ heller kit also in my stash, I intend to build an early belgian sea king with the daco DCD7272 decals of course (after finishing the NH90s )

The reason why I was asking about the colour brown/tan was that I am not too fond of mixing colours and I had hoped there was one that would exactly match the Belgian tan.

Michel Huijghe
Yes Belgian models. 👍

Nils Steyaert
for the brown color, i use Humbrol 63, for the green i use revell 363 and for the red/orange nose, i use Humbrol 132.

Ekki
Thanks for the information.

Please note that DACO do (or did) a range a paint as well. The Seaking tan and green are available: dacoproducts.com/KDCD48.php for the colour references. The stuff is pretty hard to come by depending on where you live. Verschooten in Antwerp used to do quite a good selection of DACO paints but I don't know what their stock is now.
