Green color touch up Handley Page

[Rudie1418]

Hello,

I am new to this forum and I hope that someone can help me with this question that I have.

I have a "handley Page 0/400 (RAF)" bomber and a bit of the paint is damaged. Does anybody know if Vallejo, Revell or any other brand has a color in their assoriment that is a perfect match with the original green used on the model?

I noticed that the green color of the handley Page is the same colour as the two green Bristol F.2B fighters (WGF201A and WGF201B).

:) G'day Rudi!
Mate you might like to post this query down in the Officers Club as more members will see it there.

Sorry I cant help as I do not have an Ares HP but my Shapeways on was painted in Vallego Brown Violet. pic attached.

PC10 took different shades depending on the mix. It also faded to a brown with time. If you cant find an exact match just paint a square section of an approximate colour and call it a patch for battle damage!

Hi Barry,

Thank you for the tip to post it somewhere else, this is completely new for me so I'm trying to find my way (but it's still a bit cloudy here ;) )

You don't have a picture of your HP next to some original Ares miniatures?
(two of the Bristol F.2B fighters, the Airco DH.4 (Bartlett/Naylor) and all of the Sopwith Snipe planes use the same green color as the handley Page)

Great looking model by the way!

Hi Carl,

If I can't find a matching color than it is a good idea, but first I want to try and find a matching color that blends in with the rest of the plane. (I didn't think that it would be so hard)
