No worries John.You can tell me the enamels you used (and mixing with other colors perhaps) and I will try find the equivalents....By the way you did the most beautiful and accurate ''400'' I've ever seen!!!!Congrats my friend eventhough almost 7 years passed from then!

John Wolstenholme Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 George, this is what I have found in my notes and can only be a guide: [1] Light Brown camou:  Hu121 : Hu62, 11 : 1. This was lightly over-sprayed with [2] thinned about 1:20. When sprayed on white kitchen paper the thinned colour [2] is just visible.  [2] Dark Brown camou:  Hu62 : Hu70, 4 : 2  What I cannot remember from 3 yrs+ ago, was whether any adjustments were made after a trial spray, prior to spraying the model. The ratios were by the 'highly technical method' of counting drops, so if viscosities were different, clearly that would affect the colour. HTH John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youngtiger1 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Glad to see this one up again. It's so not very to see a cool built model. Totally love everything about it. In this paint scheme this will be the brightest kit in your cabinet 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
