Carried on playing with some of my original DR1's today. Painting them up to be Manfred v R, Lothar v R, Weiss and Steinhauser. They were mainly Kempft DR1's that I'd got. While painting them up, got an exact match for the green that when dry you cn't tell it from the original paint. Saves on paint. The paint is, Citadel Foundation, Knarloc Green.
Anyone else got any paint matches we could use?????

Yes, I've found that Humbrol Enamel 75 Matt Bronze Green, is a near perfect match for the Ellwood Camel. Can't find a match for the underneath though?

As I seem to have a lot of time on my hands I'll try to make a match using GW colours.....

I tend to repaint my RFC/RNAS/RAF upper surfaces with GW's Catachan Green, which is decent enough, but would not satisfy the purists, methinks.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I also use Catachan Green with a little Graveyard Earth added. Works for me.

It seems to be a whole hearted thumbs up for GW paints at the mo. Trying to find that match for the underside blue. The nearest I can get is Ice Blue with a little bit of Skull White added. I'm not sure whether they are still doing the Ice Blue though.

Closest match IMO is Revell acrylics 36149 Light Blue. It's got the slightly greenish tinge you see on Dr1 undersides. Humbrol 47 isn't bad for Albatros type undersides (might prefer to lighten it a little). GW Bleached Bone or (better) Vallejo Dark Sand is a decent match for RFC undersides.

Thanks IRM, will give the Vallejo Dark Sand a go, has anyone found a decent match for the Rhan Dr1 fuselage?
