Some direct Colour samples for SCW skinners. These are chips made directly from sources, paint samples from aircreft crashes during SCW. You can argue of course these are very old paint and it may vary from its original colour, but believe me, I had in my hand those colur camples, many of them, and while some of them are clearly ruined by sun or elements, the pigment in many others are perfectly preserved, from different aircraft in different places same colour, so I can conclude it's a perfectly valid source.

I know here are many skinners doing SCW things, so this can be a very valuable source for your skins. And yes, probably every Spanish Republic aircraft finished in green-Light blue is painted in these colors and no others. Red is from markings. If you think green is too dark you can make it a little lighter, depends on your skinning way.

Here are the samples...








Enjoy!
