Hey all, I was wondering if any of you have built Italeri's 1/72 C-130E/H and if so could you direct me to what color I should use to simulate a Canadian Armed Forces C-130E. Thanks a lot!!!

I can't help you with colors specifically, but keep in mind Canadian C-130s used a number of differing paint schemes over the years. Lots of good photos here:

Also, any FS numbers you get will be approximations, Canada used a different paint specifications, IIRC.

IIRC, the FS equivalent colours for the tactical wrap around scheme are FS34095 Green, FS36118 Dark Grey and FS36375 Light Grey.

Cheers,
Rick
