Hay been a while since i last posted but i have been buisy. I just brought two hasegawa kits both 1/72.
The Mig eater kit with us navy vietnam vets.
and f-14 black knights history kit.
doing the first one at the moment I have one question though if a kind person may help me.
With the u.s navy white used on the old phantoms would the Tamiya insignia white (u.s navy) be a good match?
Thanks.

Not familiar with Tamiya paints, but any true white should be fine. The white on the Phantoms was gloss Insignia White, so a gloss coat would be needed if the Tamiya is a flat finish.

Thanks as far as i know it’s a semi gloss which will proberly be correct for a gloss at a smaller scale

I assume you mean the white underside of the aircraft and not the upper area which was gull gray?
