S1b paint

Post by Slug »

Hi has anyone got an original paint S1b part that I could borrow to copy as I'm having all the tins painted and the painter doesn't know what colour is correct?
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the club, if you use the following link you will find all the paint info that you need albeit the only candy green noted is for an s3a but it is the same colour for the s1b just different decals.

The S1B is a one off colour, not the same as S3A.
I don’t have any original panels but did borrow a nos S1B tank for colour match when I had mine painted.

Oh I stand corrected then, I couldn't find a coloured part to copy when I was having mine painted so I did use the same paint codes as the S3A as the tanks in the triple resources showed them both as candy green.

Sorry for miss leading

As wrote before on this topic, green S1B isn't the same that green S3A.
