Couple of questions

Post by Ashley H » Fri Jan 21, 2011 9:14 pm

Evening all,

i have a couple of questions which i hope somebody can help be out with.
I am now starting a mirage F.1M from the NTM 2006 does anybody have an idea on the overall finish colour number for this (preferred Humbrol)? as the instructions that came with the decals just say light aircraft grey which the closest looking at pics on the net and compearing in the back of the airfix catalog would be something around matt 147 with poss adding some satin varnish to make a little bit of shine?

The second is i had a two seat revell eurofighter kit turn up yesterday and the canopy has got a raised line running central across the top front to back is that suppose to be there :S
