One of my tasks over the holiday period is to catch up on the painting of my RR models,i bought my self a very nice badger airbrush and compressor for christmas and i've been having a great time painting.
How ever one of the paints i bought was "Polly Scale rail box yellow" this was recommended for Santa fe yellow (as in locos) well it just dosent look right even when mixed well, ok so its still in the bottle and it possibly will change once sprayed. To complicate matters i checked my collection of AT&SF locos and all 6 are different shades of yellow.
So has any one any recommendations on the correct shade of yellow or is it worth going ahead with what i have, i dont at this stage want to go to mixing my own custom shades, I will eventually be weathering this engine once i have got used to spraying ordinary colors.
Thanks
Mike.
