Could I put this color on my Ju-87 R-S? Its all ready to be painted and I want to get it done and out of the way because its been sitting on my workbench for to long now.

Thanks guys!

Well that didnt work out because the paint was bad. So now I have to sand the paint down when it dries and put another beige color on when thats done.

Hi Chip!

What brand of paint did you use? Acrylics or enamels? Did you prime the model first or did you apply the paint directly?

I originally used Model Master enamel paint that sat packed away for about 3 years. When I painted it, I was in a rush and laid it on heavy. So thats what made it run. I scraped the spots of bad off just now, and went back over it with Krylon "Woven Tapestry". Its a lighter goldish color. Looks kinda like faded luftwaffe paint though, but we will see how it all looks when I spray on the green camo spots.

Hi Chip,

Bad paint ruined your finish? Been there, done that

Luftwaffe's RLM 79 is a brownish tan, what I would call "buckskin". Any such color could work. Also, early on, Italian Air Force paints were used.

Looking forward to your model.
