What varnish is recommended for acrylic paints?

Sorry guys, I got distracted a bit but thanks for all that. I've now got most of the paints with a few still to come. Then I can get down to it. Tanks again for the help.

Well I have now numerous charts which either don't have the RLM number or contradict each other, Here's what I have so far. BTW, I am assuming a matte finish? I don't insist on Mr. Color if another brand seems to fit better. JU88C-6 Black Gray RLM 66 Mr. Color C-116 Black Green RLM 70* Mr. Color C-18 Dark Green RLM 71 Mr. Color C-17 Dark Gray RLM 74* ?H22 or H23 Flat Black RLM ? Flat White RLM ? Gray RLM 02* Mr. Color C-60 Gray RLM 76 Gunmetal RLM ? Light Blue RLM 65 Sand RLM 79 Silver RLM ? Steel RLM ?

Thanks so much guys. All looks very useful. So to explain, I just got hold of 2 1:48 models to start. I am interested in Bomber Command and LW Nachtjagd models in particular. 1. I picked up a 1:48 special Hobby Junkers Ju88C-4 which will be done as R4 MK w.nr. 0359 2/njg2 May 1941 Exterior colors suggested Black h12/c33 Yellow c113 Off White H21/c69 and Burnt Iron H76/C61 2. Off e-Bay I picked up a "shelf worn"Revell Monogram Junkers Ju88C-6 which I plan to do as a 4/NJG2 1942 pioloted by an ace Helmut Lent Recommended clrs Top: Gray RLM 02 Dark Gray RLM 74 Balck Green RLM 70 Bottom: Gray RLM 02 Black Green RLM 70 I hope that clarifies what I have!

Never did fireworks, but certainly used to apply fire!

My son went to school and worked there until he moved to Southern California 3 years ago. Darien/Downers Grove area. I quite liked that part,

I obviously posted this in the wrong place originally, so I hope this will get replies. QUOTE As a newb, I'm not quite sure where to post this. I've just got my first kit for about 60 years; a Special Hobby Junkers Ju88C-4 NJ made in the Czeck Replublic. The colors mentioned are either H** or C*** which seem to be Gunze colors, whatever they are. I think I worked out most as similar 'Mr. Hobby" Mr. Color numbers such that C61 = Mr. Hobby 61. However I am not entirely clear if I have ordered the correct kind of paint finish. Also, what kind of finish should be used for the exterior camo colors. I have seen reference to weathering as well which seems interesting. Also I need to know whether the pains should be thinned or not. Any help or directions to help would be appreciated. END I sort of gave up on getting a reply so I bought of Mr. Color paints whioch seemed to be the equivalent. Meanwhile, I cam across ion e-Bay A Revell Monogram Junkers JU88C-6 which was 'shelf worn' but I got anyway AFAIK these. are not made any more. Thinking in advance I am looking at the RLM colors mentioned there. I find color chrfts producing either no or different equivalents to what is listed. For Instance RLM71 dark green is klisted as Humbrol 5 admiralty grey and not listed at all on another chart. RLM 74 dark grey also no equivalent listed or as HUmbrol81 pale yellow! I get my paints on Amazon if possible as see Mr. Color, Tamiya and Vallejo being the main choices. It seems I need some good painting guides; any YouTube suggestions?

Hi to all from a Brit exiled in Kansas. Actually convenient fro traveling both East and West. Now a retired teacher of Physics and tennis coach, who at the moment spends most of his time remodeling the whole house. other than that, tennis and working on the WW II flight sim CFS3. The last has brought me back to modeling which I haven't done for nearly 60 years when I did WWII Airfix models, including "damage" versions with streams of cotton wool and pipe cleaner smoke! My basement 'command bunkerf' is also festooned with 1:72 models I got my son into when he was 10-12. Now I am just starting my first 1:48 WW II LW night fighter JU 88C-4, as the first of some models I plan involving the LW NJ and Bomber Command.
