Lost_ErikWell done. A very nice aircraft, excellent model, in bold Dutch markings.

Erik LeijdensFantastic result! Also the colors used look very good. Can you tell which paint numbers you used?

Wim van der Luijt+1 on the paint numbers....Dutch colours are very elusive and subject of much debate, but yours look good

komorasGreat model Vladi! 👍
What gloss coat are you using? Looks really nice and shiny.

Vladimir KafkaGloss coat is Gunze Super Clear III.
camouflage:
Everything Tamiya - the best there is for freehand work. I use Gunze lacquer thinner when I need more durable coat, and X-20A for precise work. Sometimes I add few drops of Agama retarder.
beige: deck tan with about 30% of wooden deck tan (I took a freshly opened bottle of deck tan and poured in wooden deck tan up to the bottleneck)
brown: XF-64 straight out of bottle
green: XF-27 with few drops of yellow and heavily lightened with white
as for how the colors should look like - I found absolutely no credible source. There is the "oldschool" of the museum machine in Netherlands, where the beige is a warm ochre color, and then the new school represented by the Dutch Profile book, which has a weird grey-green color similar to sky. I chose to kinda sit on the fence 🙂
Everyone else seems to parrot the Dutch Profile, but the book itself offers absolutely no proof or explanation color-wise - at least not in the English text, which seems like an incomplete translation of the Dutch one.

Patrick HagelsteinIf you need a translation, there are a lot of Dutch guys over here (and in this chat) to help you translate. Just post the Dutch text and we can translate it for you.

Patrick HagelsteinI mean, now it's already painted, so maybe we are a little late. But from all the color pictures and real planes I've seen so far your beige looks spot on!
