Henry Tomkiewicz RSAF C-130 was a model of the sample...
Henry Tomkiewicz model:
Photos and a paint is difficult to mix!
You'd be able to do it?

the trick to colour matching is that most photographers post process them and enhance things a bit, if you go for the middle ground on photos or go fo an are not sunlit and not in shade it's usually a better match... just experience... i would do the HAF C-130 but IRIS is keeping me busy on other things 
plus i know you like HAF Aircraft
on that airliners.net photo i'd use the rudder colour and the fuselage colour then find the middle and use that, sometimes it's about getting it close and not exact, i know in the past i've contacted a few places about aircraft paints, it's a nightmare... same with the brown, also note the camouflage has a soft edge, this is the demarcation line, usually to blend 1 colour into another and increase camouflage, sharp edges draw attention (Unless whole scheme is that way i.e. Splinter Camouflage)

HAF is in my blood, once i move back to greece (Once i'm done being a soldier here, good qualifications in school RAF turned me away, i told them "up yours" and walked over to the Army Desk, got in there) i'm hoping to join the HAF Academy, or assist them in some way... they keep trying to retire the RF-4's fully but the greek public (And me) just won't let them... with me it's beyond love... its the sheer wanting to sleep with every aircraft they have
i don't think theres a HAF patch for flightsuit i don't have... anyway back onto the C-130, just downloaded it, can you reccommend any good sounds?
