| Post subject: | JC's Parrothead colors |
Hi Guys, I have just started racing large scale here in Australia and at my first event won with my 1/5th P40, although it looks nice in its current color scheme I was hoping JC might help me out with some info regarding Parrothead as I would love to redo it in his scheme. I have looked around and found plenty of pics of Parrothead but very little info on what the actual colors are and a bit of history as to how he came up with the idea. I really like the idea of not having a scheme the same as everyone else and since Parrothead is an actual racer it suits my P40 even more. thanks Byron |

Try this P-40 from Napier Field Alabama. http://www.asisbiz.com/il2/P-40/P-40N-3 ... 43-02.html Mark Fidler |

Thanks Mark, there are some good pics in there, I more need to know what the actual colors are though. I'm not sure as to what to order in the way of tan/light brown/khaki and are the small semi circles on the wing and tail done in something other than olive drab? |

This might help Olive drab over neutral grey with medium green Splotches. Heres a build article http://www.arcair.com/Gal5/4801-4900/ga ... rn/00.shtm and another one http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/ ... pic=153501 Hope this helps. Mark Fidler |

Mix and blend different paint colors like the 1:1 artists did it. O.D. and a dab of yellow and white gives you a tan tone that you can then adjust to your liking. I believe Tony Starcer had about 6 or 7 colors available when he did Memphis Belle. |
