    Lads and lassies, I’ve been amassing a heap of items to start of airbrushing and I’m currently on the topic of paints. I’ve opted to go for a supply of Tamiya acrylics X and XF and have just selected a bunch of primary colors in flat and gloss, along with some clear colors and clear coats. The list has a mix of around 30 odd colors but do you recommend any colors that I should have before I go overboard on paint? Most of the kits I have coming are RG series GP01s, Zeta, Destiny.

    • Numbers 1-10 should be a good start+ another shade of green and blue for contrasts

      • Cheers! I’ll make sure I have the 1-10 covered then in the list. Would love if there was a simple starter kit to make this easier 😀

    • Some of the transparent colors may be helpful as well.

      • They have a red listed but to me it looks pink!? Does it actually come out red?

        • yeah, also handy for covering up nub marks on red metallic kits, and it you wanted to paint a kit metallic red. I have used it a few times in the past for tail lights on a few model cars and bikes I had built.

          • Excellent! I have some brake lights on an Aoshima Megazone 23 Garland model so that will come in handy there too! 😉

            • X-27 is the Tamiya color for clear red, just to make sure you are getting the right one (sorry I wasn’t quicker getting back to you about that, just got home).
