Love the acrylics. I have used them over Tamiya lacquer, Rustoleum enamels, and unknown older paints (practicing on older rockets).


I’ve not watched the video. I first painted the cone and the boost unit winter gray. I then masked off and painted the boost unit’s fins and the cone’s nose section dark gray. I’ll do the remaining painting by hand when I return from CA. As for the inside of the plastic cone, I’ll ask “The Vixen” to hand paint it in a flat, neutral color—possibly VERY light gray.
