As of this moment, I am going to say no, as of 5pm, on 4/13/2018, Revell US was closed down , there is no more Revell USA. It will be interesting to see what happens with vendor spot they have. -
Tamiya is a step above Testors .

Its very much a day-glo/Florescent paint , charteuse is close, but it doenst have that glo to it, I think this is the best example of the color of the wrap they use, no sun -
Beautiful is the only word I can think of

This will be the last post as I have since finished this on up. I wish I had nice things to say, but I dont, everything was going semi ok up this point, I dont what is causing it , must of messed something up somewhere but the body is not sitting level on the frame, least of my worries. Trying to attach the hood and the front grill piece proved to be something I was not able to very cleanly , problem, the body, was too straight, the one time when it needs not be, meaning , the fenders did not go inwards toward the grill, so the opening was way to wide. I was able to bend them inwards , broke the left side in two, in the progress. The windshield frame, It is not a great fit, and it takes some work to get it sit far enough back, I was not able to get sit far enough back on the right side, which meant the mounting tabs on the inside of the hood that hook into the holes on the fender became useless. Then there is mounting the grill to the fenders, the pieces that Meng put in place to use seemed utterly useless as well, I was not able to get everything attached and line up via the way you need to, so those got cut and grill got glued directly to the hood/fenders, which was a pain to get it lined up with the hood on. The fender extensions I guess the are call, dont fit very well either, the fronts, the backs fit ok. I give up, I dont have the skills need to tackle these types of kits it seems. -
would this be tamiya camel yellow
martinfan5 replied to youpey's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I think Camel Yellow will be the closet to Lemon Yellow -

Some progress, well a lot , this is just a sneaky peaky, I spent time getting almost of all the parts painted, or at least partial painted. all black so far is Mr Surfacer Black Primer at this point. Chassis, painted the defuser in the faux C/F paint. Getting the interior painted, going with a factory option two tone of black and saddle tan, not 100% happy with it, but it will do, interior are a weak point for me, still work to do on it, more painting is needed. Its the engine, and its in progress. Some parts of the suspension system and brakes, yes, you guessed it, still in progress, I need to finish painting the brakes, the calipers need some paint on them, the rotors were painted with Model Master Metalizer something , I dont know, the writing on the lables has been wipe away. And the body, almost ready to sun bath in some color.
