Title: WingNut Fokker E.1 Early
Post by: Mutter1 on March 02, 2020, 03:05:21 AM

Hello all,

       Just a quick question. I am working on the Fokker E.1 and wondering what the closest colour for the interior grey/green? I was thinking the Tamiya XF22 RLM Grey....

          Thank you all in advance for the help.

Frame - Fokker Grey (eg. Tamiya XF22).
Aluminium coverage, the floor on the front, and both side on the front - Aluminium (eg. Tamiya X16).
The floor above aluminium panel - wood. (eg. Gunze Mr Hobby H318 Radome + RAW UMBER oils +Tamiya/Gunze Orange or Yellow clear).
Side coverage behind front aluminium panel - CDL (eg. Tamiya XF-55).
Seat - wood, control panels on both sides aluminium. Seatbelts CDL.

We can discuss the right shade of Fokker-Gray, always take into account the effect of scale. For some, it will be a slightly lighter shade for others. Generally, WNW gives quite good colour equivalents.
