hawkwrench Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Now that PB destroyed alot of people's good WIP threads, good thread pics are no more. So I was wondering what color would be best to match the brown color of this soundproofing? I'm using vallejo acrylic paints on this model. Thanks ahead of time!

Tank Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Are you planning to use Vallejo Air (airbrush) or color (brush)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 I plan on using Vallejo with an airbrush. I'm kinda leaning toward Vallejo brown sand 876.. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 70.876 Brown Sand is a brush color or the app I am using is jacked up. I was thinking 71.030 Green Brown, 71.034 Sandy Brown or 71.037 Mud Brown. HTH or atleast gets people to disagree with me and get you closer to color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 So you CAN'T airbrush vallejo model color? It HAS to be model air? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I wouldn't say can't but it is designed for brush painting. Model Air is "pre thinned" already for airbrush use. I haven't had luck straight out of the bottle with Air but that's just me. I have used the retarder to help improve flow. You might be able to thin and shoot model color but the results might not be as desired. YMMV. If you do use model color please report your experience, it may help others to use or not use in that application. This video should help. If you have the brown sand on hand I would probably just use that. HTH Edited December 27, 2017 by Tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I painted my Hawk´s soundproofing in dark green color, there are some birds with green fabric. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) 2 more questions: 1-What color best matches the grey cabin interior? FS #??? 2-What tape is best for simulating cargo straps that wrap around the internal fuel tank on a MH-60 and how wide should it be?

salvador001 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The grey is the standard Dark Gull Gray, you can simulate the cargo straps with the tamiya tape. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
