Haha!! Just put in my pre-order for the fine Molds 1/72 Millennium Falcon re-release through SSM!


Anyways, time for another round of advice from all of you...


It's prime time!  My airbrush should be here within the next week, and I'll be shooting Vallejo primer through it for a nice, fine finish.  I'm thinking of shooting colour, a coat of Future, decals, some more Future to seal the decals in, then washes and pigments.  It's been a while since I modeled, and I want to be sure I've got everything right.


For primer, I'm thinking either neutral gray or a dark green.  If I can get both, I'd pre-shade with the green over the gray.  For the main colour, I'm looking for Canadian medium green with that slight hint of mint colour, used in the 80's and early 90's.  This'll be accented with a lighter green applied very lightly to raised and highlighted spots on the hull.  Ditto with the black camo stripes on the hull.  Question: what colour and brand of paint?  Tamiya, Model Master, Vallejo, Humbrol, PollyScale, Mr. Hobby?  Who has the closest match to the basic colours I need?  If I choose enamel, can I still use Future over it or should I use a lacquer gloss?   ???
