Title: Dassault Etendard IVP - Flottille 16F - Kitty Hawk 1:48
Post by: Rod The Fixer on February 23, 2023, 12:25:28 AM
Hi everyone,
I'm going to start to assemble this Kitty Hawk kit:

to make the Etendard IVP:

Source: [url=http://www.fox-two.com]www.fox-two.com (https://www.fox-two.com/schemes/etendard-ivp-2) [/url]

I need help about the colors choice for camouflage,
I plan to use:

for the Celomar 6346-2204 either The Gunze H-305 (Gray FS36118) or the Tamiya XF-53 (Neutral Grey)
for the Celomar 6346-2274 the Gunze H-337 (Grayish Blue FS35237

What do you think?

To start, as usual, a quick look inside the box:

The Etendard is one of those aircraft that does not get enough attention.  Good to see it getting some of that much needed attention in your capable hands!
