Hi all,
I am about to start painting my Revell 1:144 scale VIID U-Boat but i am having trouble with some of the colors the kit requires. The kit needs the following paints, Granite Grey and Dust Grey, does anyone know what these paints are called in the Tamiya or Humbral range? as i cant seem to find a match.
Also i planning to paint my model with a airbrush, as this is my first time using this system is there any pointers on using this, such as adding a thinning agent to the paint.
Thank you for taking the time to read my question.
Michael
