Just bumping the thread

Could some kind admin/mod please create the subforum for this GB as it should be starting soon

Are we all getting things planned?

Mucho gracias

[Mr Bowcat]

Yep, kit, paint and extras are sitting there waiting for me to start.

[Mr Bowcat]

Just a further bump, any chance of getting the sub-forum created? Please, pretty please. 😂

[pjgtech]

I will prolly be doing this one, maybe in a little dio, probably with a couple of suitable figures... 8-)

[PaulTRose]

Thats a great kit..... Thoroughly enjoyed doing it

[PaulTRose]

We only have a couple of days to go and 'the powers that be' havnt made the sub forum for this GB so can i make a suggestion....... If everyone puts their build thread in the usual place as if the sub forum has been made then when someone does make it all the build threads will be together for them to move

Try contacting ProScale Paints, tell them the year, manufacturer, colour name and identifier number if possible and they will mix it at no extra cost - I use alot of their products and love them.

Try Hiroboy. They specialise in car colours (through Zero paints) and may have what you want…..

[Tim Marlow]

Yep, they've got what you want….

Read the blurb under the paints though, they are matt paint and require clear coating afterwards. The ones I’ve used I diluted the paint and cleaned up the airbrush with Mr Color thinner…..their gloss clearcoat is fantastic….

[PaulTRose]

I just want to go cheap and quick

I really need to go thro my paint cos i might just have something near enough

[PaulTRose]

Hmmm..... Roan brown is very very close to humbrol 93 desert yellow and the blue stratos is just a tad lighter than humbrol 15 midnight blue

Hello Paul,

I tried to create a GB thread last time (maybe Paint it black) but a Mod' doesn't have the power, or I can't find 'the power' ! However, I've contacted a higher authority, so hopefully, it will be created soon.

[PaulTRose]

Top man col

Perhaps ask thequestion in the mods lounge about getting the power just to make things easier in the future
