Hi everyone.
My Junkers is up to the paint stage but I have a dilemma. They call out Tamiya XF71 , Humbrol 78 for the upper surfaces colour, but XF71 is nothing like 78 colour-wise. I think Humbrol 78 is more correct. Any ideas?

Hi Warren.

When I did my Junkers I used Humbrol 78 for the lighter green and Humbrol 117 for the darker green.
If you go to my site you will see a build log for the Junkers, you will be able to see what the colours look like.
Hope this helps you.

Des.
