F4DPhantomII Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Recommendations? Have the Caracal decals coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Paint? Model Master FS36076 can be used, but is slightly dark. I think there might be a manufacturer who released FS36170 straight from the bottle, but can't remember who. Then there is always the question on enamel vs. acrylics 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratte Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 MRP (formerly known as Mr Paint) makes a FS37170. FS36076 is way too dark and blueish (it is actually the closest FS match to the russian “eggplant “ dark blue grey as seen on Su-34, Su-35s ...). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Salineated Michigander Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I picked up Hataka's Have Glass lacquer (comes from Poland, expect a long shipping wait if you're in the USA) to use on my current build, not a Dark Viper SEAD, but Meng's Royal Netherland's F-35 Lightening II 75th Anniversary version. So far, to my eye, the Hataka paint mimics at least one or two Alclad aluminum shades, not sure of their official title off the top of my head but almost interchangeable to my naked eye.
