feoffee2 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Does anybody have these colours in either humbrol,revell or xtracolour or at a push tamiya for the current livery Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halcyonjet Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I used Humbrol 69 for the yellow on mine. The 'blue' proved more troublesome for a few years, with nothing suitable available, and my efforts at mixing failing as well. However, last year whilst in Homebase, I came across what I found to be a very good match. It was Rustoleum Painter's Touch craft paint - Indigo gloss. I have also seen these stocked in another large multiple, somewhere like B&Q, but I can't remember which, sorry. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Humbrol 15 isn't quite right enough. The Monarch blue has a tinge of mauve or purple in it. Maybe if a dot of red was mixed into it it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thats handsome Timo! I can't quite make out the reggie, but I flew in a couple A300 of Monarch. The blue colour looks spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul.em Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 wow Timo, those curved lines look perfect! How did you get to draw them so well? Did you use any kind of mask or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timo Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. Registration: its an A330-200 G-SMAN Curves: I make curved masks by first sticking tape on the fuselage and hand drawing the curves. I re-stick the tape onto paper to get a flat version of the curve which is scanned into basic drawing software. You can then draw a more precise curve which can be mirrored so that both sides of the fuselage are the same. Cut Tamiya yellow tape to the printed curve and 'voila'.

A stunning model like that takes serious skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Cheers Timo, I meant 330. 'EOMA and OJMR were the 330s flew in. MONR, ONS and MAJS were the 300s I flew in. But I very much do like your model and technique. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I very much do like your model and technique. Very nice. G-OJMR was the last A300-600R in their fleet (I was on it's final passenger flight earlier this year ). G-EOMA and G-SMAN are their two A330's. Dave -becoming a bit of a Monarch geek having now flown on 17 of their planes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
