OK, if you are
seriously :wacko going to do ANH SE Fett, then I'd base it on the ROTJ color scheme. The blaster is definitely a ROTJ style blaster. Both guantlets are dark red, the shoulder bells are a dingy yellow, with no decals on the left bell. The body armor looks like a hunter green. I couldn't see much battle damage on the screen, so that's open to interpretation. As for the helmet, I couldn't see much battle damage on the back of it. The back is a darker green than the rest of the helmet. The jet pack is NOT ESB color scheme, it's more like ROTJ.
There's only like two shots of Boba Fett in Episode IV. They may have used the same Boba Fett costume in the ROTJ SE and the Episode IV SE. I'm going to have to defer to the more experienced Fett-heads on this forum for any more information.
I agree with Bobamaker on the Tamiya paints. I like the Tamiya acrylics a lot, but other people have gotten great results with Humbrol and Floquil. Personal preference really.
This forum is a great resource and 99% of the people are helpful and pretty cool. :cheers I'd also suggest taking a look at TK409's website and Bobamaker's.
The best advice I have ever gotten was to pick a Fett style
you like, ESB, ROTJ or Pre Pro2 (my favorite), and build it
your way. After all, it's your time, money, paint etc.
You may just want to print off a few pics on a good color printer and go to the hobby shop to match up colors.
Good luck, keep us posted and take lots of pix.
