Rt4957 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hello all,,New here,but have been lurking and enjoying the builds here. I have the Round 2 MPC version of the Blue Max funny car and I am curious as to what color to use for the body,,Can`t find it anywhere on the box,nor the instructions. I suppose this was done in the day of colored plastic/molded in color days,,but I`d like to get the correct color if possible as mine is molded in white. Thanks Phil rt4957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Boy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I would say that the Tamiya TS-23 Light Blue would be close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'm not that familar with any the blue max cars , but I've seen numerous pictures of the 71-73 bodystyle car in both a light blue ( almost like a non metallic powder blue) . and then some in a darker metallic blue similar to say testors true blue metallic. As far is which one is which season ? No idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 this one ? if so I used a model master blue (maybe olds engine blue ,cant remember sorry it was 10 years or more ago) with a LOT of white added. The blue I used was quite metallacy but the white toned it down heaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
