Color selection for Revell VIIC

Aras · 01-04-13, 03:51 PM

I am trying to build a Revell VII C 1:72 scale, can anyone suggest me what colors should i use ? I dont like mixing colors since i dont think i can do that

Any thing i should know before i start is welcome, i am currently collecting the glue and the brushes.

When you look at the side of the kit you see a white square, in that square there are all the revell color numbers you need to paint the sub.
If I may give you some advice tamiya extra thin cement is very good for modelling.

Thanks Jimbuna, I was fallowing the forum for a long time, thats also how I learned manual torpedo calcutions for SH 3 ... thanks to you Herr Kaleuns !

Thanks scuba diver, as my glue and the my brushes will arrive tomarrow today i took a closer look to the guide in the model, I have noticed the "Used colors" section... too bad i will have to wait for the colors to arrive

I am impatient to build my model...

I would love to build a model with the interiors but i cannot afford that much

55 € for each comportment (diesel room, cafeteria, bedrooms, torpedo room ...)
is too much in my opinion.

By the way, I have options to build :
* U 69
* U552 early or late
* U 203
* U 82
* U 253

I think i will go for the U 552 early version

Ok guys, I have this unlucky think . I cant find fiery red color for my model anywhere in my country so what can you suggest me to do ?

Jimbuna · 01-16-13, 04:05 PM

Mix red, white and orange until you get to the required colour.

Ok, I think I can find Fiery Red Silk but its say Aqua Color, the code is 36330 not 32330... do you know what is the difference between them ?
