I am trying to get to the bottom of the definitely green tinted grey used on the A6M2. I have pictures of one in a museum, and it is a real pale green. Any info would be appreciated.

Vindicator, Devastator.

Hi. RLM 02 was used on interiors until November 1941, when RLM gave the order to use RLM 66.

I find that you don't have to thin for airbrushing. Just straight from the bottle works beautifully. Windex is a great airbrush cleaner afterward. If you have a problem finding the paint, you can order directly from Testors.

EBAY is your friend. That's where I got my A6m2. $95.00 with free shipping.

Thanks guys.

Hi all. About the Tamiya Spitfire Mk VIII. Tamiya's painting instructions are not the best since all the call outs are for their paints. With the tropical version, they have mixing instructions for the underside blue, and am I right in my assumption that It should be azure blue? The top colors call for tan and earth. Is the tan actually supposed to be middlestone? And the earth supposed to be dark earth? Thanks. Bill

"Spirited brother". The B2 Spirit is a flying wing as is a Horton 229. That is my assumption.

Thank you gentlemen.

Hi all. Regarding Zoukei-Mura's Skyraider. I haven't started building mine yet, but I have looked at the parts and scrutinized the instructions, and I don't see where it has a throttle quadrant. Am I just overlooking it, or is it possible that it doesn't have one?

Thanks guys. This is very helpful.

Hi everybody. Trying to figure out the correct color for the Sturmovic's cockpit. Any help would be great. I seem to remember the old Accurate Miniatures kit mentioning RLM 02, but in the few photos I've been able to find, that doesn't seem right. I'm going to start work on the Hobby Boss kit and it is a beauty.

Oh. It's $22.95

Hi all. I just found a set that comes with metal landing gear and weight that is done by HK. It can be gotten on Pacific Coast Models website.

Can anyone suggest the best place to install nose weight in the HK B 25? And how much? I am worried about breaking the nose gear.

Thanks everybody!

Hi all. I'm getting set to work on my Tamiya F4u Birdcage Corsair. Can anyone give me suggestions as to the proper diameter wire to use as the engine wiring?
