Hey guys,
Does anybody know if there are federal stock numbers for the dark and light blues on Air Force One? Any help will be greatly appreciated. (please don’t say I have abuddy who works in the paint shop and they mix their own!!! HA HA!) Thanx

Actually, they did mix special paint for the VIP aircraft. I was able to obtain paint chips from Boeing, and had a small batch of the paint mixed by Loren Buzewitz of Colors for Miniatures. I have a couple of bottles of each blue left, and if you want some, we can make arrangements. E-mail me direct: pboyer at finescale.com (replace “at” with the @ symbol).
The CFM paint is airbrush ready and an arcylic enamel, so although not water-based, it dries quickly and should affect plastic.
Thank you Mr. Boyer for responding to my post, however I am only working on Hasegawa’s 1:200 kit. I’ll just use the mix ratio provided with the instructions. Maybe if I do a 1:48 scale 747 I’ll borrow your paint chip!! (HA HA). Thank you again.
