Fast Packs 1/48 repaint help

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I have a pair of 1/48 fast packs from yamato, which i want to repaint in black, using tamiya paint. I was wandering if i can paint straight on the FP, or do i have to remove the existing paint somehow? I will be painting either with a CAN, or with an airbrush for the first time. I am guessing that i would need 1/3 tamiya paint and 2/3 thiner if i was going through the airbrush approach.

Thx in advance for helping a newb

I do not believe that the 1/48 packs are painted....I think they are molded plastic. I am not positive though. Anyways....GOOD LUCK!

Not sure if you can see clearly fm the photos. I too use Tamiya Acrylic spray Navy blue on all my 1/48 packs for that more accurate DYRL look. No primer is used for my case though.

The same is also applied on the new 1/60 VF-1S. I just don't like the greenish hue that Yamato uses for the packs, unless its for TV version.
