    Default Help Needed - Matching Camouflage Colours on Soubiran's Spad VII

    A recently acquired Soubiran Spad VII (from eBay) has suffered a little rough handling whilst in the post to me and unfortunately the top wing has detached taking some paint with it.
    Is anyone able to give me some pointers on paints (preferably Vallejo) that would provide a close match for the existing Ares paint job?

    So you need a close match to the underside colour of the top wing? I use mostly Reaper paints. If nobody can tell you a Vallejo tone, I can give you a suggestion, if you provide me a photo of the damaged area.

    Sorry no, I should have been clearer I need a match for the camouflage colours on the top surface of the lower wing. Its a little dark to take a decent photograph this evening but I can try and post one tomorrow.

    From my inventory I painted some strips and matched them up although the pics are tough on the lower wing. These seem to be good matches for Vallejo:

    Model Air Ochre 71.081 (perhaps with a tiny bit of white to lighten)
    Model Color Mahogany Brown 70.846
    Model Color Luftwaffe Cam Green 70.823

    For the darkest either of these would work:
    Model Color Olive Brown 70.889 (is slightly lighter)
    Model Color German C Black Brown (is slightly darker)

    For the lightest color:
    I don't have one that matches and I tried a bunch. You could try a P3 Midlund Flesh but desaturate with a bit of gray then lighten with a bit of white. Same strategy for a Vallejo Model Color Brown Rose.

    Thanks Chris. I think I even own most of those including the P3 Midlund Flesh.
