jerichoe1961 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hi All. I am still trying to try and find my way around this site and I really appreciate your patience. I am trying to get hold of the right paints to complete the royal artillery insignia on my WOT2 and I am struggling. I found some plasticote paints but the red was far too lurid and bright. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivor Ramsden Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I used Humbrol model enamel on the Morris C9b. The red is a bit bright but you can always chuck a touch of black in to tone it down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Signals Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'd agree with Ivor on Humbrol enamels (gloss or matt), but I have also successfully used artists acrylics. At your local art supplies you will find various shades of both the red and blue on the racks in quite small tubes. These also will dry to a matt finish which might suit your needs better.
