discussion U.S Check Point troop colours?

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

I don't usually do figures but find myself having to do a few for a current build but struggling with the paint colours, the box calls out for colours that don't match the art work.


So can anyone advise me from the box art, normally I use Tamiya colours but if need be I'll go with Vallejo


The instructions call out for Vallejo 883, 907, 976, 862, 863 but these don't match the bottles in my LHS?

Vallejo have some strange code system Model Color 70.907 Is Pale Blue grey


70.976 is Buff etc. Easy way to check is do a Google search of the colour number but remember to add 70. for model color and Panzer Aces, model air is 71. I think, when looking at the bottles.

Strange as the guy in the shop got his book out to check them and they weren't those colours lol


Oh well, now I can grab them online I guess

Try this one Adrian. Annoying thing is that are in colour grouping so finding the numbers which are not in order ia a pain. 976 buff is 120 on the chart, 907 pale blue grey is 153 etc

Tried putting 70 infront and 883 comes up as silver grey when the instructions are calling out for a colour close to a duck egg or interior green looking colourView attachment 250802
