Didn't the Matchbox RF Voodoo come with ladders ?

[Dizzyfugu]

Yes, but these are clumsy, to say the least.

Some fuel for thoughts, as the Independent Scottish Air Force has been an issue here recently:

The cammo can be easily "replicted" with Humbrol enamels - already did some research/trials. My bet is 168 (the glorious RAF "Hemp"), 195 (Chromeoxide Green) and simple 10 (Gloss Brown, might be slightly tinted with some black). I have a Fokker XXIII in my stash that will end up this way, and also consider this livery for a Dutch whif conversion - even though the latter should be located in the East Indies, so that an Jongblad/Oudeblad livery would be more appropriate. But the three tones and the brown undersides just look SO cool... 

I've read that Humbrol's Hu-113 Rust is a good match for the brown.

[Dizzyfugu]

IMHO: no. Humbrol 113 is very reddish and too light - the Netherland's Brown is a deep chocolate tone, AFAIK, and Humbrol 10 is a very good match. It's also recommended by IPMS Sweden.

That tank bridge-layer is just awesome ! Look at all that detail !



Nice find

Yup the brown used by the Dutch was very dark. I've used a White Ensign French colour in the past - Chocolate (good film as well  ) The model shop near Amsterdam airport does (or did) specific Dutch colours which were made by White Ensign for them. Unfortunately I'd retired and stopped traveling to Ijmuiden on a regular basis before they stocked it
