Pod,
Is that a typo error. Park Green. Do you mean dark green?
If so there are 4 diff. dark green's give me the Tamiya #
on the jar, and I will give u the corresponding humbrol #

Hi I have just dug out my walkround the F15E book and the colour is as I have said Humbrol 101 matt mid green. I have also looked at the Emergency Oxygen Bottle coulour in the Daco F16 Book. They are the same colour and that is as I have said.

Hope it is helpful, good luck with the F15, I enjoyed building one when they first came out many moons ago.

Hi Pod (Oh dear, that does sound perilously close to I-Pod! )

Have a look here - you may be able to cross-match your paint.

All the best
