Got a Kinetic 1/24 Thunderbolt to review for IPMS and was hoping to pick up some Dark Dull Green but couldn't find Mission Models selling it so had to go with the Vallejo Model Air...

If this is a commonly used color you might contact Mission Models to see if they will add it to their line.

What is the FS # call out?

Hmmm... I did a search on your Dark Dull Green inquiry and managed to understand. My guess it's for the cockpit interior, wheel wells, etc... am I correct?

You could try Mission Models IDF Green or US Interior green FS 34151

Sorry I haven't answered....haven't been able to access the site. It was primarily for the cockpit as the wheel wells were zinc chromate yellow. Ended up getting Vallejo Model Air Gunship Green which worked nicely.

Glad to hear you found the color you’re looking for.

Dull Dark Green was an interior color. It is supposed to be close to medium green FS 34092, but a tad bit darker in tone. It was used in aircraft like the B-25 and P-47. Along with Bronze Green, it is one of the WWII US aircraft interior colors ignored by paint companies.

Bronze Green is available from MRP.

But, Stik is right BG and DDG are very hard to find in paint ranges, unless you do some substitution to get them.

I use MRP for BG, and 34092 for DDG (Aeromaster Acrylic), not having much choice in the matter.

Rex, what line is MRP? If I am replicating Dull Dark Green or Bronze Green, I use Humbrol’s take on those colors, or Polly Scale in acrylics for the Dull Dark Green.

A wild guess... Mr. Paint?
