Mirage IV Color

May 07, 2006 1 Replies

I'm presently working on the 1/48 Heller Mirage IVA kit No 596, and the instructions show the color scheme to be Heller #'s 7001 and 7030 which when crossed at the Stockholm Site to Humbrol #'s this is Hu-27 and Hu-123, but this wolud make the paint scheme to be seagray and dark seagray over a underside of seagray. Is this possible? Seems like it should be a gray and green mix on the upper surfaces. Is the cross reference from Heller 7030 to Humbrol Hu-123 wrong? Any help will be appreciated.

I rarely put any stock in those company's instructions. The colors would be the French equivalents of British Dark Sea Grey and Dark Green, Humbrol HU164 and HU163. Go to

and search for those colors.
