SR 71 BLACK PAINTING

Hi all,
I’m Carletto from Italy, I’m new to the group !!!

I?ve just finished a 1/48 SR71 model and it is time to paint !!
How can I replicate the real color (sould be a blu-black color) ???

It is ALMOST black. I built one a while back after looking at one of the real planes at the Seattle Museum of Flight – http://www.museumofflight.org/ – and here’s what I did.

Start with semi-gloss blac, and add 30% dark flat blue. It looks black till after you paint it… then under the right light you can see a very slight blue tint to it.

THANK YOU !!!

Revell colour number 9, matt Anthracite.
