Polly Scale paints - Some help & advise please.
Gents
After hearing some generally very good reports about Polly Scale paints, I decided to purchase a few bottles from Hobbylinc.com in the USA as I am in the process of building a couple of BOB Spitfires.
The parcel arrived today and after eagerly ripping it open I am left feeling slightly dissapointed for the following two reasons.
1. I ordered British Dark Earth (F505252), but first look at the bottle the colour looked more like a grey blue with brown specks in it. After opening the bottle all that was there was this horrible gloopy/lumpy half dried up mess that was virtually unstirrable.
Has anybody else had any such experiences as this?
Is it salvagble by adding thinner?
What worries me is the grey/blue colour in the bottle. To me the paint looks like it's seen better days.
2. Interior grey/green colour looks nothing like the colour in Spitfire cockpits.
Has anyone used this colour from Polly Scale before?
Is it ok after a good stir do you think?
Gents, any help or advise would be greatly appreciated as obviously getting these shipped from the States was not cheap (I'm in the UK), and I'm wondering now if it's worth contacting Hobbylinc to see if they would send out a replacement.
Thanks in advance.
