Model Forum / General / Models / August 2006Silver dope paint suggestions?
I'm working on a Bristol Bulldog and am looking for paint color and brand suggestions for the silver dope color on British 'Between the Wars-era" aircraft. Thanks in advance, Martin > I'm working on a Bristol Bulldog and am looking for paint color and > brand suggestions for the silver dope color on British 'Between the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Martin Floquil Old Silver works well. Pete Alclad Aluminum with a small drop of Aircraft Gray added to the paint cup to tone it down a bit. > I'm working on a Bristol Bulldog and am looking for paint color and > brand suggestions for the silver dope color on British 'Between the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Martin Try using SnJ Spray Metal Aluminum or Platinum both would make excellent choices. Tamiya TS-30 "Silverleaf" in a spray can works very well.

I find that plain old Testors spraybomb silver has just the right dullness to look like weathered doped fabric. You can use SNJ powder to buff up the highlights if you want.  SignatureJessica I use the Testors Model Master non-buffing aluminum metallizer. This is available in spray cans or bottles for airbrushing. I use Future to seal it and apply decals, then a final coat of future mixed with Tamiya flat base to give it a semi-gloss finish.
