Have just discovered LifeColor and so far I have nothing but positive things to say about these colors, though I have not painted any major things yet. But I thought I should change that. I'm planing to build three Spitfire's. One early war MkI, one MkV in desert camo and one MkV in green/gray camo.
So, now I wonder if anyone can help me with choosing correct LifeColor colors for this project.

Hi Thomas
Looking through the list over at The Airbrush Company, I think these should be best matches:
Dark Green - LC-UA091
Dark Earth - LC-UA092
Sky - LC-UA095
Middle Stone - LC-UA097
Azure Blue - LC-UA098
Ocean Grey - LC-UA093
Medium Sea Grey - LC-UA094
Yellow - LC-UA140
Black - LC02
Interior Grey-Green - LC-UA060
I hasten to add that I haven't tried these particular LifeColors, and some are matches to the nearest (or most often quoted) FS equivalent. I've usually found Lifecolors are a good match for the FS number they state.
All the best

Hmmm... never tried them though they are made here in Italy... do they have some match for PRU Blue as well?
