Hi all
I'm thinking about purchasing a Flyhawk 1/700 scale model of HMS Cambeltown.
One of the suggested paints is Mountbatten Pink. The instructions give 3 options:
1. 8:1 Mr Hobby H61: Mr Hobby H84 (MrColor C35: MrColor C42);
2. 8:1 Tamiya XF-12:XF-9; and
3. WEM Colorcoats RN18
I don't have the MrHobby/MrColor or WEM Colorcoats paints but do have the Tamiya paints and also X-17 (Pink), which I assume is the incorrect shade, hence the mix.
I am not a fan of mixing paints, as I tend to mix either too much, or, in most cases, not enough and then getting a slightly different shade when I do mix some more. I would rather buy the 'correct' color, than mix and waste paint unnecessarily.
Suggestions? Advice?
Thanks in advance.
