Very nice herd of Belgian Camels.

Great work to all you repainters.

Here are my latest repaints. These were all previously Roy Brown camels. Paint by Vallejo and decals by 144 Direct and MiscMini.

Well done, Brian. I have been meaning to do something similar with some of my duplicates.
Can you give me the Vallejo number, please?

On these four I used 70.887 (US Olive Drab, aka Brown Violet) which is what I prefer using to represent PC10. However, I've found that 70.975 (Military Green) is a very close match to the green that Ares uses, so if I were painting to match, I would use that. For the blue color I used 70.965 Prussian Blue.

In this photo (another recent repaint), I used Military Green because I wanted to color match the Roy Brown camel next to it. It has a little bit shinier finish at this point because I hadn't yet applied the final coats of matte varnish, but you can see the color is very close.

Thanks for getting back to me with that, Brian.

Nice Camels Brian.

Here are a couple more - one from 9 RNAS (pilot unknown?) and one from 209 Squadron (Francis Mellersh, who was also involved in the MVR/Roy Brown dogfight)
