Rob Colvin Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 High speed silver on the meteor.......is it gloss, flat, or simigloss? It is kind of tough to tell in few B&W photos i have. Also does it look like silver paint darker/ lighter......any reccomendations? i would rather have a RAF camo bird... out of the current HK meteor mk 4. That said I understand the RAF naver had the 4 in camo. Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I would go with a semi gloss Rob, maybe Tamiya AS-12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Great photo, Ron! For what it's worth, Rob, I use Tamiya AS-12 to replicate High Speed Silver. Kev Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 LOL. While editing my thread to add AS-12 you posted Kev. AS-12 looks the part to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I reckon so, Ron. To my eye, it's one of the few 'silvers' with enough of a grey tone in it for the job. It's also the paint I'd choose as the base for a weather natural metal finish. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Agreed, one of my favorites. I've been using it extensively on my Mossie build. I love those Tamiya rattle cans!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Lovely pics Tony, I don't know how you manage getting such great shots of moving birds. I have a real hard time with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericg Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi Rob, As has already been said, Tamiya AS-12 for the High speed silver. I applied mine directly from the can, 2 light coats followed by a clear coat of Tamiya Semi gloss clear Acrylic. Hope that helps. Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) What do the strips represent, Tony? Kev Target Tug/training scheme: the strips are dayglo orange, originally over HSS, later Light Aircraft Grey http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=1900 (Sorry, I know I'm not Tony, but I do rather like this scheme) Edited September 26, 2015 by MikeC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
