I am starting an Airfix Vulcan kit and want to finish it in the anti-flash
white scheme. What would be the best type of spray can and technique to get
a good solid white, non-yellowing finish, but which wouldn't obscure too
much moulded detail?

Regards

Pat Macguire

Hi Pat,

I'd recommend Halfords spray canisters & their primers (white/grey) are also
highly recommended.

However, Tamiya do smaller spray cans also if you prefer, plus I rember
Humbrol doing even smaller cans.

Cheers,
Stephen.

I'll second the Halfords white primer route, then finish it with Halfords
Gloss Appliance White, they come in a couple of sizes and with the large
surface area of the Vulcan you may need to invest in a couple.

Heres a link to a Victor finished in the Halfords paints :

Hope this helps.

Happy modelling
Ant

Yep, I'd agree 100% with the Halfords Appliance White - it's a stunning
finish!
