ccoyle Posted December 23, 2022 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2022 Nice! I have been eyeing this same aircraft in card in 1/33 scale. I'm a sucker for brightly colored biplanes.

Canute Posted December 23, 2022 Share #5 Posted December 23, 2022 Nice little biplane, Javlin. Check out Tru-Color paint. They probably match it. If you remember Accu-Paint, it's a reformulated solvent paint, like Accu-Paint was. Acetone base I believe. Only issue I've heard about is it needs to be used over primer on resin. Wants to slough off resins. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway and 4 others 7 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so Ken but it's been about five years in between these Trainer/testing builds.
