Stew Dapple Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks gents Iam, I used the Colourcoats USN Blue-gray over USN Light Gray; possibly it is the photo, or your computer screen, or perhaps it is lacking in some form of blueness... I'm afraid I have no idea whatsoever Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I have no idea whatsoever Cheers, Stew it's so easy to open that can of worms about the "right" shade of color and I don't want to be the one doing so! Yep, could be my screen too! That said, thanks for letting me know the paint, I've never used colourcoats before - is this acrylic and is it generally a good paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi mate, no the Colourcoats are enamels, I prefer them for any sort of area that needs covering and really only use acrylics for detail painting - I can recommend them to you as excellent quality paints for spraying or brush-painting, but if you don't use enamels then they won't be much use to you. I know what you mean about the worms, this has been my first Pacific Theatre aircraft build since I was about 12, so I started it in a state of blissful ignorance and was fortunate enough to receive good advice from fellow Britmodellers - I'm happy with the outcome but I am really not in a position to advise anyone else regarding the accuracy or otherwise of colours Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VT Red Sox Fan Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Years late, but will leverage this in my future build--these look gorgeous. Well done--best, Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
