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

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

Vladimir Kafka
Gloss 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.

If 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.

I 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!
