discussion Red Arrows Hawk. What paint did you use ?

[colin m]

Sometime in the future I'll be building a 1:32 Revell Red Arrows hawk. My question is, what paint to use. Humbrol H238 enamel isn't available, well I've had no luck finding it.. There is a water based acrylic available which I'm not to keen on.
So, have you painted a Red arrows Hawk ? If so, what colour did you settle on ?

Hi Colin, did a Red Arrows ‘What if’ a few years ago and used Xtracolor Red Arrows Red, X014, it’s an enamel so not to everyone’s taste, but a good match.

Thank you farmer boy, that looks spot on, and it's in stock.

I used Revell 31 enamel red Colin. That was the one shown in the instructions.
