Fiat G.91 in Frecce Tricolori

[strobez]

I'm wondering if there's a specific colour scheme for G.91 Gina's in the Frecce Tricolori colour scheme? The only thing I can find is basically just "blue/white/red".  I pretty much only use Tamiya acrylics, so that would be best, but I'll take whatever.

I have the Italeri 1/72 kit for the G-91 and they specify FS15050 (Blue Angels Blue) for the blue. According to the IPMS Stockholm conversion charts that is equivalant to Tamiya X03.
For the underside of the wing they specify blue, silver and red. They don't specify the red as it is provided as a decal.

Hope this helps.

Ok... well that sounds easy enough...

Thanks for the tip!

I'd doubt that the official Frecce Tricolori blue was an FS tone - the brightness of Blue Angel Blue is O.K. but IMHO it's too "greenish" for the Italian team? Unfortunately Italeri replaces a lot of tones with what they have available in the ModelMaster range, the worst things I came across is FS 34227 (Medium Green) for RLM02 and totally weird FS tones for the Bundesmarine Tornado, which is painted in RAL tones.

I have a Meng G.91 in Frecce Tricolori livery, IIRC, I will check what they recommend.

The MENG instructions recommend FS 15050, too, in this case they refer to Gunze 328.
Tamiya X3 seems to me to be the better option, though, even if it is not exactly the FS tone.

Thanks Df! I actually just picked up the Meng kit (couldn't pass it up at $20) yesterday.  Looking at the instructions, now I'm trying to figure out what "Super Italian Red" is.

Ferrari Red ? Seriously anything a suitable "fiery" red or scarlet should do. Look at the Italian National Flag, the colours are very bright
