David Ovenden Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) As per title. Has anyone used Hobby King Tan Green covering film? Tan Green HK film If so, what colour is it? Beige? Light Kahki? Light grey/ green? It's hard to tell from the photoand I can't think of many ARTFs that use such a colour and there doesn't seem to be an Oracover equivalent.

David Ovenden Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi Paul, Which is why I'm asking. HK's colour descriptions are really very imaginative, almost fantastic sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul. If he has any it would be interesting to see what colour it actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Colour is a bit subjective David, as you realise, but my HK example is " Lime Green " in my view, And from a distance the colour is not unlike the undercoat they use on some aircraft internals and pre-paint.

David Ovenden Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks for the info Denis, I was wondering how close it would be to the green on this Sea Fury scheme. (matted down a bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Purely from the image it looks like an approximation of Sky, as used in RAF day fighter schemes from Aug 1940 onwards, but pictures can be deceptive on screen. Tamiya XF-21 for comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya XF-21 for comparison Indeed screen pics are deceptive. Denis who has some film describes it as "lime green". So I'll just paint the existing light grey film on the model with the correct colour. Can check then before/ as the paint goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
