GWR Loco Green Pre-1928
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2017 3:56 pm
This is probably a long shot but....
Has anyone here done any experimenting to see if any of the acrylic range of paint from Tamiya or Vallejo are close to the pre-1928 darker shade of GWR loco green?
As an example, XF 61 Dark Green or XF 26 Deep Green in the Tamiya range look as though they might be in the right area.
I have an old Mallard 517 kit that is being overhauled and rebuilt and will hopefully be ready for a coat of paint before too long.
I may have a bash and do some experimenting myself, but if someone else has already looked at this there is (as they say) no point in reinventing the wheel....
Cheers, John
