Wonderful model, Dave.  Could you tell me what was the brand of red paint you
used?  Thanks for sharing your talents.

Cheers,

Hello, Ernie -

Thanks, mate! 

Yes, with pleasure - red is Revell's ('aqua colour' range) Carmin Red code 36 which was the colour call out in the instructions.   Personally, I find this shade of red dries to a light shade bordering an almost orange tone in strong light.  In this case, painted over a darker base coat (olive brown) changed the tone to a much darker shade which looks better to my eyes.

Regards

As I said during the ..."in progress>>>", good to see others still turning out quality  builds of the old girl !

Thanks, Ed -

I think the old kits can actually be more of a fun build on occasions.

An excellent result Dave from an aged kit, I really like the red and how it turned out, congratulations on turning this ancient kit into a thing of beauty.

Thanks, Des -

These old, large scale Revell's actually have a lot going for them and turn out well with a small amount of effort - really worth a go.
