Can anyone supply me withMil Stnd. codes – or FS equivalents-- for the CC-130 used by RCAF
hey hornet63366;
well the ones I’ve seen in the AOR’s of OEF & OIF the RAF had 2 colors, early Herky’s had Med Green over Lt Blue Grey, and the C-130J’s are painted AMC Grey
I don’t have the FS #'s on me right this minute but if you need then just give a haller
Currently, Canadian Hercs wear an overall dark grey thats close to Dark Sea Grey and semi gloss when its fresh.
I’ll post a couple of pics of Candian Hercs here as soon as I can.
O.K. Here’s a few shots of CC-130s wearing their current scheme, its been on them since the early 1990s
I hope its what you were after, if not, let me know, I’ll see if I have shots of CC-130s from earlier than this.
Hey Hornet;
the term Mil Standard means the US’s Federal Standard (FS), you can find these colors in your LHS as Testors Model Masters Paints, Floquil Paints, Polly Scale Paints, Humbrol Paints, and the rest, but from my experences the best selection for availability would be Testors but Floquils have more colors but hard to find in LHS’s, the colors I’ve seen are FS 36173 USAF’s AMC Grey (RAF’s C-103J), or FS 34159 USAF’s SAC Bomber Green and FS 34201 USAF’s SAC Bomber Tan, and FS 34079 Dk Green (RAAF C-130H), or FS 34095 (RAF & RAAF C-130B, E or H flying out of Bagram AB Afghanistan), and the colors of the planes in the Pix above looks like UK’s BS638 Dk Sea Grey, or FS 36076 but not to sure though
