Hi all - I need a little bit of help. Can any one tell me what the FS color is or an appropriate manufacturers green color for a late Canadian Cougar? I have the trumpeter kit for the improved cougar that I want to build.
Thanks for the help

Hi
when I built my C2 Mexas, I was told to use Tamiya NATO green for the current Canadian green.

Hi,
NATO Green will work fine on it. I use to operate them a few years ago.

Hi,
may I point out. The Jerry cans will be a semi gloss black. Looking at the handel of it, it looks like a water jerry can. And the straping of the jerry can would be a flat Olive Drab.
Also to note, we mainly painted our Cougars NATO Green and NATO Black schemes. Not saying yours is wrong, it's right. But all I worked with was the Green/Black combo. Or just pure NATO Green.
More of the trucks are painted NATO 3 colours in our fleet.
Other than that,
Looks like a good job,
Just remember to plug in the drain holes before going into the water.
