Well, maybe this colour issue needs to be discussed a bit more?

Nice thanks Splash!

colour issue

We just paint em with whatever paint stock's issued there's a war on

I can imagine the bods at HQ debating what exact shade of brown ought to be used. The Honourable Poncington-Brewer dancing around shrieking about the exact shade of taupe, the flippertygibbet's khaki. I'd put them all in the Army

I will check the net and various forums to see if there are any RGB values that match.

Hmmm...let's see



PC10 is a bit of a slippery colour for historians to nail down as it changed from a brown to green shade as the war progressed. Additionally as it was subject to weathering, it browned in colour. So in my humble opinion It started out as a definite brown shade in the early days of the RFC, progressed to a shade closer to green but went back to brown with weathering/sun bleaching. In summary they either started out brown or green that turned brown.

Where in that train of thought do you put the skin? Maybe I need to adapt it in some way.

I knew I should have stuck to the Axis

Hi Splash

I had a quick look

http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff_eng_colorcharts_uk.htm

is a good source for colour references, unfortunately the only colour giving an error is PC10.
It gives it as FS 14087

However I did track down this
http://www.rhinehartdevelopment.com/finishing/content/files/Federal_Standard_595_Paint_Spec.pdf FS

According to that document 14087 = 3C341F

My thought is they started out an absolute brown and even if they did move towards green at the end of the war, that green turned brown. So brown it is

Stick to the Axis.....no absolutely not. It would be a crime

Thanks mate,

FS 14087? I have the RGB values that correspond to that. I will adapt the skin when I get home from work and could send it to you (PM me your email) or post a pic in this thread.

I really like the looks of your work there, Splash...very nice. Has that been posted for download anywhere yet?

There was no "Axis" in WWI, just Central Powers.
