New enamel from "Xtracolor"

[CDW]

Hopefully this is of interest to some builders.........

Was in my local model shop last week and the lad informed me that Xtracolor have recently released the Green/blue colour that is found in Soviet aircraft cockpits/offices.

Apparently this hasn't been available as an individual paint before (i wouldn't know myself) and it's a hard one to get right by mixing standard colours (although to me it just looks like a "dull matt turquios" )

They will be releasing it as an acrylic later this year according to the shops sources.

To be honest Derek, when i was in the shop and the lad was showing me this tin I thought there would possibly be other brands available, it's just that the lad in the shop seemed well excited with this particular one ... so i thought it might be of interest.

Thanks for the link mate.

Thanks Colin, It's always handy to have an alternative. My only problem with White Ensign is you don't have a colour chart so you are relying on blind faith when you order. Having said that it's a beautiful paint to airbrush/hand brush. Cheers Derek
