I know it was mentioned before, but I can't remember.

I should know this, but I have forgotten, what color is everyone using for theunpainted fiberglass fan shroud on the engine?

I don't even remember; I eyeballed the color and mixed it from the pics of the engine outside of the Allison/Gulf Blue car that's in Matt's Fotki album. Hence everyone's shroud is a different color, maybe Wayne or Eric or Matt can give you a better answer. Since the engines are optional for the group build and not very visible, we're not worried over an exact match because I don't know if we really know what the best color is to replicate the shroud.

I used a Tamiya acrylic that was tan colored and added a little bit of desert yellow. Mine is a little too brown, desert yellow alone would be a pretty close match.

Real modelers use real fiberglass...none of that paint stuff.

Real 'modelers' have finished models. Post up some of your completed ones so we can see how it's done. :D

[Eric Cole]

I used desert yellow with a light wash of clear smoke
