 I painted mine to my personal taste and I couldn't find the kind of paint they were calling for. I had to do a mixture for the base light gray color and the contrasting darker gray. | |

Downloads: 1 Uploads: 0 | I thik he grey would have been the typical choice, most folks would have used that, but there is something to be said for personal preferences . . . I remeber seeing something on the Military channel where the British painted one of their battle vehicles Pink because the color material was good for anti radar or some such . . . however they opted for the typical green because pink really isn't a hard core color . . . Who's to say orange isn't the way to go in the future . . . . next model do it in grey see what happens. . .  gp |
