62rebel Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 i thought the moebius instruction book gave detailed color callouts as well as photos? I'd dig my kit out and check but it's deep in the stack. google search ought to provide the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Some reference pics for you, taken at the Hostetler Hudson Museum at Shipshewanna IN: The color is metallic gold. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks for the pics this for sure helps!! Note, however, that the engine paint isn't anything like your say, Testors #1144 metallic gold, but a gold metallic enamel. A good approximation of this color can probably be had from Scale Finishes, in Acrylic Enamel, which would have to be airbrushed, over a primer to get this look. Check his website, I think he has Chevrolet "Anniversary Gold" which is a metallic gold body color--would be very, very close! Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_G Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Tamiya Titanium Gold is an almost perfect match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
