RE: L39
John i think they were only joking..
I think the point that Sandor is trying to put across is that the Chinese manufactures very rarely ( If ever ) go in depth enough to use the correct Ral numbers for their models.
Until last week I owned the exact same model as in your photo link and when I tried to match the paint I found it was quite some way off from the full size. In the end I mixed my own using acrylic based paints then had a paint shop match it and put it in a can for me. I have a bottle of the blue left if you want it..

I knew they were joking, so was I! I have asked Ralle at tailormade to do decals for me and also to identify the colours, if anyone can do it he can. BTW I am not going to try to match that cammo pattern, just the colours in the usual smooth edge manner.

If I had been offended I would not have been so polite! BTW I e-mailed Ralle this morning and have just got a reply from him. No one in this hobby gives better service than him.

Hello John,
I think, Ralle dosen't be able to give you the right colour number.
The colour at a pic is different as the real one.
Go in a colour shop with colour charts. They will mix you the right one.
The chinese dont have any RAL or other number. I asked two times for a number. The answere, we mixed the colour by hand.
