Title: For plastic model guys.
Post by: Melvin on February 16, 2011, 07:20:44 AM: NOT THAT KIND!!! Jeeeez.

I'm currently getting set up to build a 1:48 scale Bf109-f from Airfix. In the cockpit it calls for Humbrol #92 paint.

I went to Humbrol's site and couldn't find a #92 paint.

Does anybody know what the Tamiya or Testors equivalent is? I'd prefer the Tamiya version, because that's what our local shop stocks mostly.

Thanks in advance.
