I have looked at the chart. My eyesight trying to match close colors is giving me a headache. I was hoping someone on here had experience with the color matching.

Rob G, Thanks for the answer, but all of the paints are Humbrol Enamels. I am looking for Humbrol Acrylics.

I have recently switched from Model Master Acrylics to Humbrol Acrylics. At the moment, I can only purchase Hubrol Acrylics in Mexico. I am not looking for Humbrol Acrylics close to the following Model Master Acrylic. I am a casual modeler and the colors just need to be close. Model Master 4757 Neutral Gray, (FS36270) Model Master 4852 Green Zinc Chromate (AN00628). Model Master 4851 Yellow Zinc Chromate (AN 00627) Thanks, CCW

I am currently building the Tamiya 1/72 P47-D Bubbletop Kit #60770. I have a few questions about the kit. Step 4: Part #A21,#A22 What are they for? #A33: What is it for? Thanks.

Thanks for all of the help. I am going to use the Tamiya Fine Surface Primer Rattle can. I will let you know, Thanks.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I live in Mexico and getting paint here is a pain. There is one hobby shop close to here, my options are: Tamiya Fine Surface Primer, rattle can. Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer White, bottle Several MrSurfacer prodcts. Recommendations?

I brush paint everything, using Model Master Acrylics. I also prime using Stynylrez Primer Grey. Everything works well, except Gloss White coverage. I am not worried about "perfect matching". Is there a paint color I can use that is closest to Gloss White? Thanks.

I am looking for a kit that has decent fit and goes together fairly easy. I am not too worried about accuracy.

I am looking for an inexpensive B-25 kit (i live in Mexico and customs is expensive). The Italeri 1/72 B-25 kit 1309 is way less cost than most of the rest. Is there a reason why? Thanks.

I am in the process of building the 1/48 Hasegawa P-39 (09093). Kit is going together very well EXCEPT the Air Intakes (Part B1). Horrible fit, huge gaps, and affects wing alignment and wing roots. How could Hasegawa engineered such a horrible piece? Don't they do test fitting before releasing the kit? Sorry for the rant. I am just getting back into modelling after 30+ years and this kit doesn't help.

Randy, your pictures make me depressed!! Do you have any pics of the underside?

I just tried to complete the Hasegawa 1/48 Shinden. The fit was good until I got to the landing gear. Even without weight in the nose 3 of the landing gear was a horrible fit. The gear either kept bending forward or backward. I got so frustrated I tossed the kit away. If I build another one, does anyone have recommendations that I can use to strengthen the landing gear. I am a novice builder so keep that in mind! Thanks.

Andre, Wow, the Vallejo sets are nice. One question...I only brush paint, do you think I can still use them?

Hello again. I use Model Master Acrylic Paint and brush paint. There is no Imperial Japanese Army Green in Acrylic. Model Master Acrylic 4726 was close, but it has been discontinued. I am a casual model builder, so I do not need an exact match. Can anyone recommend a Model Master Acrylic that is closest in color? Thanks, Curt

Thanks Admiral. I got them mounted. I am still curious as to why Tamiya did not have the holes already in the wings. Thanks, CCW
