Airfix cars

just got this one there is 3 cars in it all 1/32 scale The Ford Model T & Ford Focus WRC are curbsides,the Escort has engine its the best out of them all,will be building the escort up for a friend,one thing they will be a quick build

I hope they are better than the airfix mini in the same scale , I built one as the 1966 bathurst winner (don't even ask about the differences between the model and real car) , the body was in 4 parts , underbody , lower half of front , lower half of rear , and remainder of top .... They didn't fit together very well either but looked good as a finished model .

one thing sports850 is painting to red and dark blue on the focus ,the T will be painted Black the only colour for it

will be painting the model T like the fisrt I seen been restored when I was 15 it had dark blue body and black fennders

need some help with colour please,the escort in the kit is painted in Humbrol's #3 Brunswick green,which is a dark green one I am looking for colour that would match in auto paint,will be building the car up for grandaughters hubby he likes the dark green,he called it froggy green, anyone know the ford colour thought it was Modena green but its to light in colour,can any ford fan's help,Oh escort is a 1967 model,have looked on the web but came up with no luck.

have found the colour its evergreen

The Escort Mk-1 had a couple of greens that I recall - Le Mans Green and Modena Green.

Thank's for that Tezza43,had found the 2 colours that you said,in the kit there is a small pot of Humbrol paint of #3 Brunswick green which is a very dak green look's a lot like the evergreen colour,been thinking its the wrong colour the photo of the escort is a 73 model,the things we do for young ones.

was the modena green a metallic green found colours of the car but they were all diffrent shades of the colour some light some dark.

Modena Green isn't listed as metallic in the Escort lists. I wouldn't trust colour swatches on screen either. Take a look at Humbrol Paint's colour swatch charts here

You can also enter a commercial colour to see the closest they have to it. I guess it will come down to a matter of "is it really that noticeable"?

Thank's tezza43,for your help,will go down town to a auto paint shop to find out if they can mix the colour or match the humbrol colour to a auto paint

Brunswick Green = British Racing Green (or near as dammit).

I've used zero paints with no problems - they are ready thinned for spraying and the jars even screw straight onto my (Pasche) airbrush.
Take advantage of the cheap pound and order from Hiroboy - last time I did the paints arrived before i'd even clicked "confirm order".

OK, so maybe a slight exageration, but they were faster getting stuff to me from the UK than HLJ are sending it from Japan.

I bought my Dad the Airfix 60's saloon car set which has the Escort, a Viva & a Herald. I had a sticky in the box before I posted it to him and they all looked pretty nicely moulded. No chrome though and 1/32 puts me off.

Thank's zenrat for infor,I will be picking up some tamiya arcylic X-5 its a match for the Brunswick green next week there is plenty of paint in the jar for the escort,I would use the enamel but me and enamel have a lot of trouble
