Guy's I've been trying to locate the floquil stuff here, and phoned quite a few places with not much luck.
Some say they can get it, but because it has a hazardous solvent in there, it has to be shipped by sea, in it's own sealed container, and delivered to the shop by a carrier that specialises in hazardous chemicals.
Hard to believe I know, and it will take weeks or months to get here on top of all that. Also with all the silly regulations it'll push the price up to £5 or about $8 a jar.
Chris, I'm worried that if you send some to me by air, without all these over the top safeguards, that it might get impounded, and I'll never receive it...
I didn't think getting the right paint would be so difficult...I'm thinking that Tamiya mixing time is the way forward.
If anyone has an idea of what the closest colour match to the floquil grime is, I would very much like to hear your opinions.
Failing that, I'll try gunpowders mix of deck tan/white and see how it looks.
Just been looking through a few paint pots..Tamiya medium grey is a warmish grey that might look ok with some white added, or humbrol 129 light gull grey...this looks pretty close to my MR snowspeeder colour....hmmmm
Dunno what else to add..I'm a bit frustated....
Cheers
Phil
