I’m planning a 1/72 Merlin build and have the Xtradecal set. Of those on the sheet I’m drawn to the Danish scheme however Xtradecal (Hannants) list the main colour as Metallic Green with fluorescent yellow panels but list no paint matches.
Is the metallic green correct and if so what acrylic paint is a best match?



Photo for reference only.

Any one?

As can be seen in this picture it has a metallic/satin sheen.

There is an old thread here at the archived forum of IPMS Denmark. No colour codes but described as "olive green with aluminium particles in it, giving it a golden sheen when the sun shines on it". There are lots of photos though and you might be able to mix something that you like and that looks good!

I tried googling as well, using my very basic knowledge in Danish, but it didn't help much !

Magnus, thank you for your help. I'd not seen those photos either so they will be useful when the time comes.

Zero paints do a few greens.
Might be a little too dark
