                        Suggestions for red on the ARC 170
                        Posted by PatlaborUnit1 on Friday, August 22, 2008 8:40 AM

                        Im about to start the RoG ARC 170 fighter and am looking for a deep red shade.

                        I don't want to use common Gaurds Red, or Insignia red, those are too easily identified.  I will be using Panzer interior buff as my white color.

                        I dont want to custom mix because I have had just too manhy problems with repaints that dont match.

                         

                         

                        any suggestions for a deep red?

                        thanks~

                        David,

                         

                        I don't have the paint chart in front of me but you might look at the Polly Scale (or Floquil) railroad colors line. They have a bunch or company specific reds. I've used their stuff before to match non-military colors.

                        http://www.testors.com/catalog_browse.asp?ictNbr=57

                        Cheers,

                        Aaron Skinner

                        Excellent idea!

                         The most common red found on boxcars may be just what I need!

                        Hey David. Good to see you around.

                        What type of paint are you using, acrylics or enamels? What's you preferred brand?
