The B17 should be pretty simple, interior green with bare metal in the rear of the Aircraft for early B17s, and either OD Green topsides over Medium Gray undersides or bare metal for the B17G. There are enough model paint manufacturers out there that you shouldn't need to mix at all.

If you search Aeroscale there is one great B-17 build where he goes over the proper colors for everything. It's either the Revell or the more recent Airfix B-17G. A scan of the Airfix B-17 instructions should be online and found with a Google search. It will have a good color chart in Humbrol numbers and you can find a list of them online too. But no mixing.

Thank you that makes i so much more fun rather than mixing different paints able to concentrate more on the build than worrying about if i have mixed enough paint Cheers Mark
