Help needed again for JU52

[sanovabeach2]

Hey everyone, I'm currently helping a friend with his Revell JU-52. The Manual states the use of these colors:

1. Beige
2. Light Olive

Colors available here in the Philippines are only Tamiya, do you know the Tamiya equivalent to this or a mix?
Thanks!

It appears there are no direct matches, you may have to do a comparison by eye on their paint charts.

I have just this minute bought this kit

Gimme 5 mins and I'll go have a look in the cave

Thanks! Is this a good kit for a first timer on Aircraft?

If it is the 1/144 it might be a little fiddly for a first timer.

I don't think there is a direct comparison from Revell to Tamiya, but if you visit Phildafish's website he has some extensive conversion charts on there... you may be able to work that way..

If anyone can find a match it would be Paul.
I think that he actually has every colour in Tamiya's line up.

[Daishi12]

Just done some cross referencing from the Vallejo colour chart - light olive comes up as XF65- J.A. Green/Field Green

[Daishi12]

The beige is a bit more difficult, Tamiya don't have a direct match, but RAL have, RAL 1019 grey beige.

Hope this helps.

And probably a few they haven't released yet

As said there are no direct matches

Beige i would use xf57 buff and add white to lighten it

The light olive as daishi said the xf65 JA green lightened with white again will be your best bet.

Thanks ! Just a bit confused xf65 is field gray and XF13 is ja green? is it xf65 or xf 13?

In the U.K. I've got the XF65 as Field Gray, but I'm not sure if Tamiya release it under different names in different parts of the world.

It's the same here, probably its the same all over. Thank you again

Sorry yes field grey

Revell,s Arado kit tell,s you to use light olive for the cockpit, as this is supposed to be RLM Gray then Tamiya XF22 would be my guess, as for the beige I would agree with Paul, cheer,s Dave
