Red Oxide

[aust85]

Hi All,

Just a quick one, which has probably already been asked. What colour of Tamiya or equivalent paint would match the red oxide undercoat used on the German tanks?

I used Hull Red XF-9.

I use "Simoniz" Acrylic car Primer, £5 for a 500ml rattle can, Which compares well with a HUMBROL or a TAMIYA 150ml rattle can .Humbrol at £5 for 150ml and Tamiya at £6.50 for 150ml,
I think you would agree there is a big difference in price but no difference in paint quality,
The only thing I do is change the spray nozzle for one from a TAMIYA rattle can.

Plastikote red oxide everytime. Tamiya hull red is too dark.

I thought he wanted Tamiya specifically. I actually mostly use this one:

Which is the same as this one and is actually called Red Oxide - Imagine that !

I use Tamiya hull red or Mig Red primer. For actual primer I use Plastikote red or white.

Just adding for your reference here is the tamiya red oxide for tanks in the rattle can .

Now then! Last time I looked they didn't do red, this is a welcome development!
