BEST TAMIYA ACRYLICS FOR 1916 AIRCRAFT

Recommended Posts

Hello again

 

This is a follow on  question to my request for a Sopwith Pup reproduction kit.

 

Can anybody give me the appropriate Tamiya Acrylic colours for recreating PC 10 and unbleached linen colours.

 

I normally use enamels but am temporarily restricted to the Tamiya range from Hannants

 

Thanks for your recommendations.

CDL was a material more than a color so it can become a case of what looks right. When I was working on a Be2c several years ago, I ended up using a bottle of Tamiya Flat White and adding just enough Flat Yellow to barely tint the white.

I would use Wingnut Wings site, as they always give colours referring to Tamiya paints and show the mix ratios. If you want ready made colours Misterkit do a great range of WWI colours.

I had noted that,  and that is why I referred you to WnW site.

That still doesn't mean that Misterkit paints should not get a mention since I didn't know your circumstances. They are also far better, in my opinion, for brush painting. I have never been able to apply Tamiya paints with a brush, I find them absolutely impossible for that.
