Seeking Colour Suggestion for Jungle Scheme

[mchoo2005]

Hi all! I'm planning to use a jungle or SEA scheme for my "C" Rafale, and would like to seek some advice on which shades of greens and brown to use. I only use Tamiya acrylic, Gunze Aqueous, and LifeColor, so if you could give me some pointers using one of these three is much appreciated.

EDIT: I'm not a strickler on accuracy. Just seeking advice purely on aesthetic only.

TIA!

saw this on ARC first,,,,but, here it is in case you check on here first

if you mean you want to apply the USAF SEA scheme to a Rafale,,,,,here is a quick LifeColor list

34079 Green paint # UA001
34102 Green paint # UA002
30219 Tan paint # UA015
over
36622 Gray paint # UA021

that sounds like a great looking model,,post a pic or two when you get it done?

I will add here, though,,,,,that sounds cool on a Rafale, a Typhoon, a Grippen, and a Kfir,,,,,among others

edit to add: these 4 colors were on GMW's sale, if there are any of them left, they would be popular paints

Thanks Rex. Happened to check ARC first this time...

Here's my WIP thread on this forum: http://zone-five.net/showthread.php?t=18112

I'm sure that Mr Aungst wouldn't mind me posting this. If he does he can let me know and I'll remove it......

And this, his Jungle scheme

Thanks Loki. I've got the link to David Aungst's page from ARC. And you know what? I was thinking of those exact two schemes. At this stage, I'm leaning more towards his SEA scheme with a slight mod: rather than gray underside, I might wrap the camo around to the underside too.

Hey mchoo, you know, to be honest I don't often go over there anymore, anyway, the wraparound scheme would look good but I can't help thinking Dave got it bang on with the South American Jungle scheme below.
That seems to be more modern rather than the old SEA scheme you'd suggest wraparound.
I think it looks more believable and that's its strength.
Anyway, please do post pics. Good subject!!

[mchoo2005]

Yeah... Right after I posted my last response, I had another, closer, look at both schemes and I agree with you. The South American jungle scheme does look better.

With regards to posting pics.... Patience, young grasshopper!

Hopefully I'll have a bit of time this Saturday to work on my twin Rafales....
