What FS color for the nose of P38J BobCat II

[Michael Fearing]

Hi, I just joined this this site, this site looks like it contains a lot of good information.

I know you are a plastic model site, but we on the scale RC side have to deal with the same issues for Scale Competition.

I made a really nice P38 but lost points on my static scale judging because the yellow orange I used on my nose was a color I made my self, (yellow and red) but I cant find any documentation for the Bob Cat II showing what FS numbers were used on the model.

looking over more pictures online it looks like the yellow on the nose should be more yellow than I painted. Would any of you have the FS number of the yellow?

I was thinking it would be Insigne Yellow? what you think?

I also lose points for being to weathered, but I don't care. LOL

First off a correction: this is a WW2 aircraft site, modelling is a side line. I'll see if I can find something in my books

Yep it seems that the colour known as the ANA 614.

Welcome aboard. I think your judges ripped you off. It's a stunning model and nicely weathered in my opinion.

Thanks guys, I figured it was Insignia Yellow, I'm going to order a few bottles of FS33538 Flat Insignia yellow and re due the front end.
This site seems great, I just got to figure its lay out, I Im working on two really big projects this winter, and I have learned its way better to get all the Documentations before I start building.

Where on this site would I go to find more photos (clear 3 views scale drawings ) for Canadair Sabre mk.6 F86 body number JA-245 I know its the Canadair Sabre mk.6 of 2nd Staffel, Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen," Federal German Air Force (luftwafle), C. 1958
