Hi all
A couple of questions re RLM 04 and the painting thereof.
opinion please as to whether Tamiya TS-34 Carmel Yellow is a resonable match for RLM 04?
Or am I better to handbrush Humbrol Insignia yellow?,if so any ideas as to the best colour to use as an undercoat?

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Chris

Undercoat with white. Humbrol 154 is RLM04. My Modeller's Manual does not list a Tamiya equivalent. If you want an acrylic then Vallejo 952/15 is RLM04.

RLM 04,"fresh" from the bottom of a Norwegian fjord. This looks pretty much like other samples I've seen on various bits and pieces.



I use Xtracrylics which is a very good representation.
