Majestic Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I'm working on a custom 1/48, and am working on the ever-popular Enigma paint scheme. A couple of questions: Which Tamiya colors should I use for airbrushing? I know Kurt (my name is also Kurt!) uses Gunze on his awesome buildups, but I'd like to use Tamiya, as it seems to be readily available in my area and I want to be able to run out and get more at a moment's notice. Should I stick with a medium gray? Is "German Gray" much too dark? And which off-white should I use? My anasazi decals are on the way - will these help me find a color match?

Anasazi37 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 My anasazi decals are on the way - will these help me find a color match? Only in that you'll want a grey that isn't so dark the semi-translucent decals won't show up after application. While many decals are opaque, some are partly see-through so they blend nicely into the paint job. I haven't made an Enigma personally, though, but I do use Tamiya acrylics. I'd stay away from dark grey and perhaps medium grey. Kurt would know better, though. PM might be the best way to get a hold of him--I know he's pretty busy with his "real job" these days and doesn't check threads very often....

mslz22 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I used model masters (enamel) Camo Grey for the light grey and navy agressor grey with a ghost coat of the camo grey over it for the 2nd color.....looks right to me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
