PollyScale Red Zinc Chromate (railroad color) is an excellent hull red

Thanks!  I did a little more research yesterday, and found some good source material.  The instructions that came with the kit are horrible; but once I got over trying to figure out what they were saying to do, and concentrate more on what would actually work and look authentic, I made more headway.  I appreciate your input!
