Chrisjh Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Just purchased a rather long rake of Dapol HIA Freightliner Green Hoppers. I would like to paint the doors which are currently painted white (I think) to green. Does anyone know what the correct colour reference is for the Freightliner Green to match the rest of the wagon please, many thanks.

rs4 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Something else Chris. I think the chutes underneath are meant to be body coloured, while the actual chute doors are black. I did mine as follows: Project duly stalled after that as did modelling mojo ! Must resume..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
