Help!!!! AS-5

[msm2]

I am looking for alternative to Tamiya AS-5.

Tamiya AS-5 = RLM 76 = Vallejo Model Air 71046 / Humbrol 126 or 175 / Tamiya XF-53

Cheers Allyne,I have the Model Air and the Tamiya in my paint stock.That one less paint to buy tomorrow.

Tony...look again...i altered the numbers whilst you posted sorry. For some reason i gave the paints for RLM 65 instead of 76

 

[msm2]

More confused now XF-53 is Neutral Grey and not Light Blue.

Tony..

 

[AlanG]

RLM 76 = RLM Light Blue = Vallejo Pale Grey Blue / Humbrol US Med Grey Blue (126) or Hellgrau RLM 76 (175) / Tamiya Natural Gry

 

[msm2]

So confusing,getting a headache...

Tony..

 

[AlanG]

I know. What model is it for? That might make it easier

 

[msm2]

Tamiya 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf109 E-3 . On paint list it has AS-5 Light Blue (Luftwaffe)/Hellblau (Luftwaffe).

If its the under belly could it be Tamiya XF-23

 

[msm2]

Under belly and sides too so most of the aircraft.

Tony..

 

[AlanG]

I'd go with RLM 65 then (i'm sure Steve will know for sure) Vallejo 71008 / Humbrol 65 and Tamiya XF-23

 

[msm2]

Will have a look at the other ones I have and see if the paint ties in with the info you given me.

Tony..

Isn't the E-3 what Graham built the other month?

[msm2]

Yep it is. Looks like light blue was used on under belly and sides.

Tony..

 

[treyzx10r]

hellblau

rlm65

 

[msm2]

Cheers Trey. That matches up with Model Air 71008 Light Blue. I will go with that.

Hi Guys,

Just got myself a 1/48 Tamiya Stuka Ju87B2. Questions is, what version of XF matches with AS23(Light Green Luftwaffe) and AS24(Dark Green Luftwaffe)? Don't like can spray as I find it too cumbersome.....(or to be honest, have never tried using them, so don't trust myself with them).

As for AS5, I think I will go with RLM 65. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Matt
