Dutch Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Geoff, I likee! Very nice ASB. Which brand and number paint did you use? Kind regards, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Hi Dutch, Mr Hobby/Mr Color #74 Air Superiority Blue. My first time using that paint. I believe it is an acrylic lacquer which I have not used before and had to experiment with thinners. Seemed to not work well with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Then I tried lacquer thinner, that worked.
