armored76 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hi, I resurrected an old idea of mine of building a Thai Airways Airbus one day which got me thinking which paints are actually available for the specific purple. Does any one of you have any suggestions? I'm mainly using acrylics but having a something from that line is not a must. Many thanks in advance!

armored76 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 According to the Revell A330-300 instructions: 70% Night Blue 54 and 30% Ferrari Red 34 Further suggestions are still welcome! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'd also be interested to know if there is an available paint which is a good match, TIA Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armored76 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 @rossm I was only able to find the Revell paint mix listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I got to here http://www.color-hex.com/color-palette/29309 but that didn't help with paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Revell painting instructions should never be taken seriously.

Cristian, I mixed my own in an empty & cleaned out Tamiya jar (on the right, with a sprayed patch of the final colour on the lid). I based it on X16 Purple, with a little X4 Blue and a dash of X7 Red. I can't really give ratios as I did it by eye to match the colour of the 26Decals Thai A350 sheet. I just kept brush painting a sample onto a bit of white plasticard and comparing it to the decal sheet, until I got it as near as makes no difference. I mixed up more than I thought I'd need, because I didn't want to run out. Plus I have a Revell Thai A330 still to do! [edit] Just an afterthought - I wouldn't try to brush paint large areas like fuselages with Tamiya paint, it really needs to be sprayed. It dries very quickly so tends to 'drag' as it comes off the brush. Smaller areas like wheelbays are fine by brush. [/edit] Hope this helps.
