What color is this?

[Paul Thomas]

I have a 1/12 scale model that i am thinking of doing like this instead of Continental Orange. I have been to paintscratch but some of their displayed colors are off. The code may be right, but i would have to order a bunch of paint to be sure.

Thanks,
Paul

Can’t say for sure but it looks like one of the colors from the original TransAm Series from the mid ‘70s. Might want to try a Google search on the series for back ground info.

All I've ever heard it referred to is "Vaillant Green", as it was most likely a custom team-only (Kremer) color. When googling, you may want to include "Porsche Cup", "Kremer", and/or "Bob Wollek", in your searches.

The car and the color are from the early to mid 70's.

Jared, It is the Tamiya kit. I have the 934 and 935.

Thanks everyone, i may get a small amount of the "light green" that paint scratch has listed for the 74-75 model year and see what i get. Worst case, i go ahead and do the Continental Orange. Thats what i have decals for anyway.

A place called Model Car World Automotive Finishes may have what you're looking for. I say may because I saw a lot of other diecast versions of that car when googling for the colour, with a slightly darker shade of green than the one you originally posted. Do a CTRL + F and search for Vaillant, it's there under the Porsche colours. Lucky b@stard, I'd love to build that kit. It comes up on ebay quite often, but unfortunately the cost of the kit + shipping to Australia would cause my better half to jam my nuts in a grinder. Post some pics of the kit when you're done.

Cheers,
Nigel

Thanks for the link Nigel, thats a great site. Strange that you would post it from down under, that place is 30 minutes from my house.
