Okay, another paint question. I am starting on Tamiya's 1/48th F4U-1A Corsair. I am wanting to use Tamiya acrylics for the exterior. Again, the problem I am running into with Tamiya paints is nothing matches what the instructions say.
For example it lists AS-8 Navy Blue but it is in a spray can and there is not a bottled to match that colorm for me to airbrush. Very frustrating.
So my question is for those of you that have used Tamiya acrylics to paint a model do you all take a SWAG as to what color matches the closest or find another paint maker that has the exact match?
I really like airbrushing acrylics and am wanting to try different makers of acrylics. I have used Testors and Gunze and have liked the results (Gunze had horrible fumes though and Testors almost none).
Am I taking the paint matching too seriously? Any suggestions are great.
Thanks,
Steve
