69A-CAR Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hey, I am building the Freightliner DD with the 250 Cummins. What is a good color of spray bomb for the engine and what color should the trans be?? Many thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markus355 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 tamiya's light sand is an ok match from what i can tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Smith Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 testors flat light aircraft grey ( i think) is close too...plus it can be bought anywhere (this is the base testors stuff you get at micheals/ac moore) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catd11rpusher Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I think cummins biege is the right color, I had to order it from cummins. I don't know the trans color, I hope that is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) The Cummins Beige I got from Dupli-Color was way too dark; almost brown. I've had good luck with Tamiya Deck Tan XF-55. It might be a little light, but I like it. Also, Scale Finishes offers Cummins Beige. Edited August 4, 2011 by Jim B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollock Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 would that be the same color for the 460 cummins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69A-CAR Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks all, Jim I have that Duplicolor stuff and it is very brown, I am just trying to get something close. Heck the box shows it in Cat Yellow! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
