Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 What are my US options for 36170 for the F-35? I do enamels (MM) and the occasional lacquer, but not acrylic. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 You can try FS 36076, engine gray, if you can find it. Give the True North paint a try. I purchased a test bottle of FS 36231, Dark Gull Gray, and it sprayed very nice. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ORANGF15Guy Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) MRP makes the color in lacquer and it lays down beautifully! Been a MM enamels guy for 30 years and I’m switching over to MRP! Edited June 9, 2020 by ORANGF15Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 For lacquers, Mr Paint or Hataka. Getting 36170 right is a tough one as it's kind of two-colors-in-one. 36076 is a close start but only for the darker appearance, not the shiny metallic one. Hataka's just looks silver metallic to me. I haven't tried MRP yet, they have both the color and the Have Glass overcoat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Thanks, MRP will be my second choice, really like what I've read/heard/learned. Will True North work with regular MM airbrush enamel for thinning? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can say this does work fine, as I did a week ago with no ill effects Seems I am late to the party 🙂 Edited June 10, 2020 by mike_45 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomcatfreak Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hello, I used MRP FS36170 plus MRP Have Glass Coat and Xtra Color FS36270 for RAM panels. I think its the best colors for F-35 available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stannislas Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 hello, I know the old painting scheme, the one with the RAM panels in a lighter color, the main body color is FS36170 just wondering, for the new painting scheme, the RAM panel in the similar color with the main body color, is the main body color still FS36170? by looking at photo I feel it's a little bit darker, not sure if that is because of the light of something, just want to make sure.
