Vallejo colour accuracy....opinions?

[Si Benson]

I totally agree with the whole paint thing.
Agree 100% with Ron’s sentiments about paint and how nice it is too see so many of us in agreement on the subject.

Tim....that is an excellent picture to prove the point:thumb2:

For colour accuracy, pick the bones out of this one.....illustrates the close enough point quite nicely....

I’m sure they started out pretty close in most cases...

As written above by members, there are so many variables re. paint colours and shades that just what is right or wrong is impossible to state. Get it something like, yes. But take into account the original paint batch, the weather, how thick/thin the paint was applied, the list is endless.....

More importantly to me anyway, and what I have observed with this thread is the constructive and civilized way the discussion has been conducted. Elsewhere such a subject would have become volatile and personal - Not here!

So top marks gents......:thumb2:

I saw a similar photo of British Army vehicles sometime ago, and tried to find it for posting in this thread, but couldn’t locate it anymore. This one illustrates the point very well too.
