LSP_K2 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 I'm beginning to think it's time for me to be in a home. A few months back, I sorted through all of my paints (I have quite a lot), and pulled all of the Luftwaffe colors, putting all of them into one large Ziploc bag. Where are all of those paints now that I need them, you might ask? Kevin has no earthly clue! MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Just keep telling yourself , they're here someplace, they're not in the twilight zone. Look again in places you've already looked. Many times I've found things in places I've already looked. Just didn't see them the first time. You'll find them Kev LSP_K2 and Dpgsbody55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Actually, I did luck out and find both my Model Master and Mr. Hobby RLM 76 (obviously not in the missing bag), but I now also have a bottle of MRP RLM 76 on the way, so I'm going to do a test comparison of the three to see which I prefer. If push comes to shove, I'll order the remaining colors I need from the MRP line; I've been really wanting to try them anyway, as I've heard so much good stuff about them.

LSP_K2 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Excellent. My MRP paint (RLM 76) arrived today, along with a couple of goodies for a Bf 109G-10 that I'll be starting in February sometime.

LSP_K2 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 I tried the MRP paint, and I have to say that I'm not impressed at all. I'll stick with Mr Hobby and Model Master for now. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Finally! The blue interiors of the intake (Mr Hobby RLM 76; I love the way this stuff sprays), have now been fitted to the fuselage bottom; essential stuff before I'm able to start applying primer to the fuselage, which I now intend to do this weekend. Pay no attention to the crooked 'pit floor, it's just there for this photo. In fact, I'll need to add some shims to that, as the floor itself is narrower than the sidewalls, so no way it will fit otherwise!

LSP_K2 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 And a view "down the throat". A teeny bit of surfacer is all that will be required to tidy it up. I'm very pleased. Landrotten Highlander, Greg W, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 While I was already in a painting mood, I went ahead and spritzed the main gear doors as well. Color looks a bit off here, but it's just the poor lighting in my area at night. MikeC, 109, Citadelgrad and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite a vigorous shaking, it was still like water and very translucent, virtually no opacity at all, barely covering a white plastic card, even after multiple passes. To make matters even worse, it's green, almost no blue tint to it at all. Very disappointing stuff. For the moment, I'll just stick with Mr Hobby; just ordered a few more bottles yesterday, in fact.

Out2gtcha Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Yeah, sounds like there might have been a lot of pigment still in the bottom. I still buy stainless steel BBs and put them in my bottles for that very reason. daHeld, MikeMaben and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I love MPR paint Kev. They spray extremely well for me. Hmmmmm. I wonder what went wrong for you? LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still buy stainless steel BBs and put them in my bottles for that very reason. Possibly. I didn't add BBs first, which I normally do. I've yet to buy any stainless BBs, but certainly intend to, as I find that mixing certain paints and copper, can cause an unpleasant negative reaction over time. 30 minutes ago, Troy Molitor said: I love MPR paint Kev.

MRP does the standard RLM 76, but also do what they refer to as a late war RLM 76, so perhaps the label was switched or something, who knows. D.B.
