Merci bien!

Colors are mostly from Modelmaster's Authentic Enamel line. I used their Dark Blue Grey and French Khaki, as well as a Light Blue Grey for the lower side. The brown (originally called Chestnut) is 170 from Humbrol (Brown Bess). The Dark Blue Grey is very unique, and it is not dark at all. The Khaki can be simulated well with Humbrol's 102 - and I would stay away from the light grey for the underside. The paint (at least the enamel) is somewhat grainy and tends to dry up VERY quickly, so that it is no fun at all to apply. Streaks, lumps, and the brush becomes clogged, too! Humbrol's 127 (FS 36375, with a blue-ish hue) is a good alternative. For the brown you frequently find Humbrol 98 as recommendation (Chocolate), and it works well, too. Did a Free French Brewster Buffalo with it some time ago.
