Well now.
After all this i may not be able to "complete" this one.
Unless I can find a reliable custom decal printer!
Mine is punking out on me, no response from my emails,
phone call, or messages. The sole reason for building this is to a specific aircraft.
Without the decals! Bubkiss. So I may slow down on this one.
Same goes for GB55, GB56 and f'n GB57. Very disappointing.
I just might go into the business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Now I am confused about Have Glass Grey!
Is it Grey, or a Brown-ish?
In the bottle it does Not look grey.
When I sprayed it it does Not look grey, it looks Brown-ish!!!!
I bring it in to the light of day, it is Grey??????
I take a photo, it is really Grey. I use a flash and it's a feckin blend of Brown-ish to GREY?
I am confused. SMS what the??????

SMS says it turns darker as it dries. But it sure does go on nice!

Have you stirred the paint correctly? It can be noted that if it isn't stirred well the SMS lacquer looks brown-sandish in tone at the top. The correct pigment is gathered at the bottom of the bottle.

BTW a useful link ... Obsession with FS 36170: Who Got It Right?
Oh Wurger, that "obsession" thread hurt my brain. Excellent research tho. My goodness the hoops jumped thru are amazing.
But then I have to find a way to set the colors on my laptop so they are true. So magenta doesn't look green!
