Hi guys,
I have about 5 or 6 different non gi joe vehicles that I want to customize and integrate into my ranks which include: Vietnam era helicopter(forgot name) A true heros blackhawk heli, two abrams tanks( one for joes other for Cobra. Also a cheap lil 3 dollar plastic plane (which is scale btw) and a true heros F-22. I've been browsing the forum and I have noticed that you all either use some kind of spray paint on your vehicles or model paint. I already know that Testor's model masters acrylic paint is the way to go with the figs. Does the same apply to our vehicles? Or am I supposed to use spray paint on these. I can't wait to start one of these but don't know what the hell I need. Please help. Thanks Serp (Fight Night Legend) P.s. Can someone please tell me where to find the model masters acrylic paint? only testors I have seen is the enamel crap that's not what I want right? |

I usually find Testors at a Hobby Lobby.
I like to spray paint my vehicles. I like to use Krylon Fusion spraypaint for Plastics. I then use testors to add the details and for the drybrushing. |

that's the problem kalibus, I don't have a hobbytown anymore in my area(used to guess they were a victim of recession) I've been to michaels and all they had was testors enamel. Does a big chain store carry these paints that you might know of??

Any hobby shops or model stores should carry them. Craft stores are + - depending (see michaels=no good paints) you may be stuck going into the city. You are in central georgia, maybe a trip to atlanta is in your future

You give your location as 'Central Georgia'. There is a Hobby Lobby in Warner Robins, if that helps. I have no idea if they carry the Model Masters paints; I personally use Games Workshop, Vallejo and Reaper paints for my occasional customs.
