Hello,
I have finished my M1A1 and am shifting gears back to aircraft. I have an A-10 that I am just starting and have an F-5 on deck. I am trying to find a place to order acrylics for the F-5. I live in the OKC and the only hobby shop that we have (if you can call it one) is Hobby Lobby and they don't have the best selection of paints.
I am wanting to paint the F-5 in the Air Force aggressor colors. I am looking for Light Blue FS35414, Blue Gray FS35190, Gray FS35164 and Pale Blue FS35622.
A few of the problems that I am having: I cannot make a match between FS #'s and Tamiya or Testors acrylics. Also Tamiya (from what I have seen) does not have for example a paint called blue gray and without being able to compare the actual color (can't do that online) I am not sure if I am getting the correct color. I know that there was a FSM that came out that had a paint guide in it but I cannot locate my copy.
So does anyone know of a good place to order these paints (I usually order online from squadron) and does anyone know the colors that match up with the FS #'s.
Also, I am wanting to stick with acrylics because they are so much easier to clean up and they don't smell as bad as enamels.
Any help would be greatly apprectiated.
Steve
