thanks.
I used a 1:1 mix of tamiya medium blue and medium grey.
Matches the original colour IMO and if there will any paint chips
caused from moving or something like that, it will be easy for me
to match the colour for repaint
diameter for rod is 18mm.
I'd love to watch the progress on your red 3 build and let me
say you're the man for painting and weathering:thumbsup
Got the Salzo V3 also and will try to do red 2.
