My final adjusted color mixes to touch up the decals. Of course, different
batches of decal may vary, but these should get you there. I've adjusted
the mixes for post-clear coat effects, after finding that the differing
reaction to a coat of Future or PolyScale clears threw the original matches
off.
Light Blue - Testors 1162 Sky Blue (small square bottles)
Medium Blue - 7 parts Testors MM True Blue 35102 (2030) + 2 parts MM RLM
Dunkelblau (2074) + 1 part mm NS Sea Blue 35042 (1718) + 1 part MM Light
Ghost Gray 36375 (1728)
Dark Blue - 1 part Humbrol 15 Midnight Blue + 1 part Hu 21 Gloss Black
Gray - 1 part MM Light Ghost Gray 36375 (1728) + 1 part MM Dark Ghost Gray
36320 (1741)
Green - 8 parts Hu:195 Dark Green + 2 parts Hu:03 Deep Brunswick Green + 1
part Hu:21 Gloss Black
Tan - 2 parts Hu:110 Natural Wood + 1 part Hu:148 Radome Tan 33531
Brown - 2 parts Hu:10 Service Brown + 1 part Hu:19 Gloss Scarlet + 1 part
133 Satin Brown.
Turquoise - I did not use this color in a position that would need any
touching up, so I did not match it.
With all said and done, I never want to make the Flashback Berg D.I kit
again. After they let me have sharp objects again, I will stick to easier
kits for a while. I haven't quite finished the Berg, but I am seeing a
light at the end of the tunnel that does not look like an oncoming train.
I have the wings on and rigged and the touch-ups done on the paint, now I
have to build the landing gear, which I have test fitted several times and
should be only a small headache. This model has taken entirely too long to
build.

NR: "The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe" --
Roger Penrose a bit of light reading that is forcing me to pull out my
college math books to remember what I forgot and to make a list of advanced
math books I need! When this guy finishes with a history of mathematics,
he starts explaining physics by establishing that Einstein's "Space-Time"
is the only context it can be explained in, so forget the Newtonian
macroscopic limit.
ND: Arrogant Bastard Ale -- a really nice, hoppy ale that lives up to its
name, and is needed after reading too much Penrose and building Flashback
kits.
