What was her name?Stick with weird……I like weird
For those wondering, this seemed to me to be a pretty good guide, when I was looking into this subject some years ago.there's no colour called 'sabbia' sand in the Regia Aeronautica listings, but the pre '41 colours, the mimetici, are a bit vague. There are at least four different Giallo Mimetici, from four different actual real paints.
What, all of ’em….What was her name?
Trollop ... !What, all of ’em….
Tut, tut Ducky - merely a little quackers interjection (or two)!Wait. Where is this going?
Ouch!Tut, tut Ducky - merely a little quackers interjection (or two)!
...... Apart from that,it's spot on!!...Well that's an impressive gert big slab. I'm still hoping for a 1/32 injection job. Or Airfix do one in 1/24th, lol... Hmm, Tamiya have never done anything Italian
However, time to put my nerd hat on, because those colours look a bit weird to me and my (copious) references and paint stocks.
The yellow could be giallo mimetico (camo yellow) '1', the most pale shade (I put the numbers in quotes as they're post war classifications), the green is a bit too 'green' for the verde mimeticos (camo green), but the brown is okay for bruno mimetico (camo brown). The underside looks close to a RAF 'Sky', rather than grigio mimetico (camo grey). That's all the pre '41 colours
The nose and leading edge look, to me way to dark, even for grigio azzurro scuro (the blue-grey for late seaplanes), and by my references ought to be closer to grigio azzurro chiaro (light grey-blue). 'Soft-edged' too
Going to have to look into this MRP range
