Can anyone point me toward a close color match for a Firefly in the Testor's MM Acryl range? I have number 4729 Euro I dark green and number 4734 medium green. I airbrush in the basement with the gas forced air furnace and the gas water heater so I use water base paint.

Thanks in advance,
Shaun

Should be Olive Drab - even if the Firefly were fully repainted in SCC15, new paint should be a close match to US OD. SCC15 tended to weather to a rather greener shade than US OD did

Thanks for the timely reply. I just finished masking and airbrushing the road wheels the medium green. I will shoot the whole thing in OD and lighten it up with the preshading and the filters.

Thanks again,
Shaun
