If Ratch does decide to change a color I hope he shares it. I think it can be done without disassembly. Randall Randall, I hope no one thought I was criticising the build. It was both good and informative as we have come to expect from Ratch. I just wanted to have a chat about the shadow shading and gain some more knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Dominic, I certainly didn’t think anyone was being critical. It’s clearly misleading information that caused the issue. I’ve been mislead by color conversions myself. The example I can think of is deep Mediterranean blue on a P-40. The conversion charts were more or less purple. I wisely used a different color from Humbrol, I’m ok with the results. Better modeling through peer pressure?

Ratch Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 We all know that colour matching is a minefield. Conversion charts can be misleading. Manufacturer's descriptions of individual paints can cause confusion. Until someone points out the best colour to use we all swim in the dark. I don't use Colourcoats and don't want to switch to another brand, I have quite enough different brands of paints. It would be useful to know which Vallejo, Humbrol, Revell, and Tamiya paints match the correct colours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
