Hey, anyone any knowledge of French camo colours? I have the SMER (ex-Heller) Leo 451, and it looks a nice kit, and plan to make it up into a colourful Vichy aircraft.
However, SMER’s Humbrol references seem strange - 3-colour camo of brown, khaki and green. Except the numbers they give work out as Olive Drab, Dark Earth and Interior Green! Khaki, brown and green sounds OK, but I could use more accurate colour references. I tried IPMS, but the Khaki colour wasn’t found, and the French used a variety of browns. I’m pretty sure that the green was much darker than this too. Other than that, no colour refs on the interweb at all that I could find.
Any help on the actual colours for this scheme would be greatly appreciated.
