If my aging brain is working right, I think the "accepted" mix is a 50/50 mix of Floquil white and Floquil Grime.

Hi guys - I have a FM Falcon on the way - does anyone know where I can get those Floquil paints in the UK/Europe? I'll be damned if I can find them anywhere.
I found a few US sellers but they won't ship outside the US.

(and what are the paint codes for the above, does anyone know?)

Thanks in advance!

MML,
I've mailed paints to friends from The Dented Helmet.com before with no issues. Two guys in England, and another in Spain.
I have a terrific hobby shop right around the corner that stocks the whole Floquil/Polly Scale line.
If you're interested in some help, PM me.

Don't forget about freight car brown for the brown panels.

Whoa, guys, thanks for the response! I'll definitely be PMing you shortly, SJ.
I've been looking around a bit, I found the following code numbers:

Floquil Grime - F110086

Floquil Antique White - F110085
Floquil Reefer White - F110011
(Not sure which white, probably no difference?)

Floquil South. Freight Car Brown - F110175

I have various Tamiya greys on order for other bits and pieces.

Are there any more Floquils it would be worth getting?

(P.S. Which panels are done in the brown?)

Just checked the tracking site, the Falcon (and the TIE interceptor, 1:72 and 1:48 X wings) have just arrived at Irish customs from HLJ! Woohoo! Fingers crossed they'll be here before the weekend. :lol

Anyway, curious about the entire list of paints needed, I saw scans of the TIE/X Wing instructions and was able to put together a list of Tamiya acrylics which have since been ordered.
Can anyone point me to a scan of the Falcon instructions? Even just the paint parts? It would give me a head-start for ordering anything else I need.

About the hull panel decals, would it be better to skip them and use paint instead? Or will some Microsol, etc. make easy work of them?
