Juggernut Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm thinking the answer is no (since I live in the United States) but since they have a website with pricing I thought I'd ask. Nobody has stock of RAF Marking Blue which I will need in the not-too-distant future. Sprue Brothers has RAF Marking Red and Marking Yellow but no blue; DAMN THE ROTTEN LUCK! I signed up for notification when they get it back in stock but I may have to resort to making some type C1 roundel decals for my 1/48 Typhoon. Not a huge problem but I'm hoping the dye sublimation inks I have coming will prevent the dithering that's all-to-common with Alps printed decals using non-standard colors. I have the masks which I'd prefer to use but as a last resort, a well made decal will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom2 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Yes, you can! I have bought paint directly from MRP several times, easy to order from their site, swift turnaround, very good packaging and reasonable freight cost. https://mrpaint.sk/ I live in Sweden, so I can not tell how it would work or what it would the cost from the USA.

LSP_Kevin Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 SMS is similar to MRP, but not the same. It's nowhere near as thin, and consequently (for the most part) more opaque. You can airbrush it straight from the bottle, but I get better results thinning it up to the usual 50/50 ratio. Kev MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 We’ll, I bought the marking yellow and red from Sprue Brothers and I found some xtracolor insignia blue so I think I’m set. I will definitely need to thin the xtracolor but that’s nothing new. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
