The actual aircraft is darker than Guards Red, I worked on bits of it at Hatfield. The Halfords acrylic range of car paints are excellent for this type of job, over their plastic red oxide or grey undercoat. Try one of them the finish will be transformed. Just do it in reasonable temperature and mist it on. It works, ask me how I know ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-63218847679664187232014-12-23T10:09:06.733+00:002014-12-23T10:09:06.733+00:00Acrylic anything is crap., except Perspex.

If they can't make a paint that dries in a reasonable time, why the Hell should I support their 'orrible product? I only use Vallejo because I can get it locally...cheap!Oddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406048947308249483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-75210561804156128472014-12-23T08:40:28.803+00:002014-12-23T08:40:28.803+00:00Probably.

The matt colours go on nice and easy with a great surface finish, while the gloss ones tend not to cover well and often end up with little dots or clumps.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-80780995563071344932014-12-23T08:04:04.884+00:002014-12-23T08:04:04.884+00:00Don't Humbrol do a spray can gloss red acrylic...Don't Humbrol do a spray can gloss red acrylic?James Finisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351798531269786632noreply@blogger.com
