Heng Long Camo T90 Colors

Post by OKC_Jim »

Anybody out there figured out what off the shelf colors come closest to matching the colors used on the HL camo T90? Tamiya or Vallejo would be nice but other brands welcome.

Thanks,

Jim

Imex/Taigen in the US is selling replacement paints matching the Taigen colors. I don't know if these would suit HengLong, too, but perhaps. Check it out:

I've been doing more research on the colours.

In the T90 thread, viewtopic.php?f=201&t=21042, I found this...

Well, my old bottle of US Dark Green seemed a perfect match when dry, so I ordered two bottles, only to find today that when thickly applied with a brush it is way too dark. Did a bit of research and it seems that getting a match is a problem for modellers of T90's no matter what scale they are working in. The current choice is apparently Vallejo Russian Green, but lightened up a bit, though in theory the US Dark Green can also be lightened. German WW2 Beige seems pretty damned close to the sand colour though, and Bogeyman tells me that German Black/Brown is close to the 'black'.
Thanks Wibblywobbly!
