Glad to hear it's workign out for you. I get worried that some peoples results won't be as good as what I had but if you stay the course and stick with it and think a little out of the box you'll get there. Heck I could be wrong on all of the colors used but you can take it to the bank it was Floquil/polly-s paints.

I just finished painting my helmet with your colours, Lee, and they all worked out beautifully. I'll post some pics when I can borrow a better camera.

Further up on the page is a link to a couple of web sights and a list of the product numbers, just search the site with the product numbers and you should find everything you need.

I couldnt find ATSF Catwhisker Yellow for the scratches around the chrome on the knees and shoulders, so I used Doped Linen which worked like a charm and looks alot like the reference pics..

Just an idea for those, like me, who couldnt find ATSF Catwhisker Yellow.

Everyone of the paints is available online at testors.com. If you really can't find any of them locally you should check the site.

I noticed in the color list that the yellow/grayish on the back of the helmet is not labeled any idea what color it is, or am i missing it?

I'm getting ready to order all my paints for the big project.. Just had a few questions about the list..

For the Rangefinder ear, RS has 'Earth' , but Lord Fett has 'Panzer dark yellow' .. was it originally yellow and RS later edited to the earth?

Did we ever discover what a good color to mix with the doped linen was? I've found the Panzer Dunkelgelb, but not in Acrylic..

and any other good 'unsure' color discoveries that anyone has made along the way would be real helpful..

I've read so many different stories on the Box car red, that I don't think I even wanna ask about that one..

Any help would be great..

Hey all!

Color question for suggestions: I'm combing through the Ref pics for detail, but I'm not sure what color to go with for the dull scratch color around the chrome chips on the tp of the dome and the cheeks. Is this a greyish color? a dark green-grey? It tends to look like a lot of different colors. Any help would be great!

RLM's are german Air Force colors. MILW stands for Milwalkee(sp). PRR is Pacific railroad. All of these designations are on the particular bottle.

Lets discuss the yellow-ish / grey on the back of the helmet.

Jango_Fett_Jr said:

One colour I don't see is the back of the helmet, the yellow-ish grey scratches. Has that colour been IDed?

After re-reading this entire thread, and searching the helmet forum, I still havn't found a generally accepted color for this part of the helmet.

Baddblood said:

I had used Doped Linen originally ... it was a little too green, almost neon at times IMHO.

Click to expand...

I agree 100% Baddblood. I went with the masking method on my helmet, Chrome, Doped Linen, then the Euro I Dark Green (mixed with RLM 24 blue), and the Doped Linen looks like a neon yellow/green.

I plan on going to the hobby shop to get a replacement color(s), but I wanted to toss out the options and see what the consensus may be. Here is what I could find:

- Doped Linen (RS post 125 in this thread)
- Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943 (Jango's Kid post 126 in this thread)
- Sand & Up Armor Yellow (Darth Miller in his thread)
- Khaki & Humbrols Egg Blue (Steve the Swede in his thread)
- ? (SpideyFett what did you use?)

I am leaning toward the Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943, but I would like to get some feedback from those that have finished their helmets. Also, a single color is easier to nail down, than a personal mixture of two colors.

Gator

P.S. The list in post #1 still does not contain a line item for this color on the helmet. Could that post be edited, to at least ID the need for a yellow-ish / grey color on the back of the helmet.
