                        Day-Glo red?
                        Posted by Phantom Fan on Monday, July 7, 2014 6:39 PM

                        I'm building the Heller Fouga Magister kit & want to model it to represent the Irish Silver Swallows air demonstration team (using the Max Decals set). What is a good paint (or mix) to use to correctly model Day-Glo red? I typically use Testors Model Master paints, but am not sure what a good match is. 

                        Thanks!

                        Joe

                        Isn't Day Glo Red also Flourescent Red in the MM line? Hard for me to say in the colors of a lesser known foreign air arm.

                        Fluorescent red sounds right to me. Make sure you put a white basecoat underneath it.

                        Fluorescent Red it is then. And I finished the white base coat yesterday, so I guess I got to get to the hobby store soon to get some Fluorescent Red. Thanks!
