Just mix it until you think it looks about right Keith. It'll be good practice for you, and don't worry about getting the shade absolutely right. As long as it's close enough, then that's close enough ! There's far too much b*ll*cks talked about this shade and that shade when it comes to modelling, with the 'rivet counters' seeming to forget scale effect, the age and condition of the aircraft (and paint) on the real thing, conditions at the time, effects of weather, how the paint was applied, where the aircraft is etc etc etc.
Engineers say "If it looks right, it is right", and ..... they're right !!
 
Hi Ellis995,
Good progress so far. You shouldn't fuzz to much about color shades. Keep in mind that Luftwaffe used all sorts of italian paint over their european style camouflage in the opening stages of the desert war and combined them with their "trop colors" when they were available. Colorlists are good but the front painted what was at their hands.
 
Colours look spot on to me Keith and nicely applied. Great job, although I might have applied more green patches though.

Great camouflage and deception in that pic. But that's only part of the whole picture - it's actually a Messerschmitt 'Gigant' with a Bf109E painted on top !
