Revell color question
Posted by Khalee2 on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 1:07 PM

 Just starting to paint revell"s F89J, Instructions say to mix silver with aluminum, I'm guessing for semi gloss look.

Now I have Vallejo aluminum, Humbrol 27001 and 2 aluminum, and model master non buffing aluminum,which one of those would be a good substitute for the revell colors.

I would suggest that you use the Humbrol or Model Master Aluminum color. No need to mix anything.

I would add that on a plane that size, you might find a way to use some of all those for some natural variations in the NMF.

I'd use Alclad.  They have several shades of aluminum, and as a previous poster said, it might look nice using several of the shades on the same model.
