Estes Astroid Hunter
 
What color is it? I am building the astroid Hunter. Well it is built. Almost ready to paint. What color is it. I am thinking a light naval or military gray. the card that comes with the model looks that color. Or a light army gray/green ? Any hint or suggestions would be helpful. :D Thanks Cheif.

I'd go with a silver gray. Perhaps something metallic like a spray can of auto spray paint from Duplicolor.

Maybe not this color or paint specifically but something like it.

It's gray but metallic.

Chief, I painted the gray parts of mine with Rustoleum Winter Gray gloss #249089. I used gloss so the decals wouldn't silver and then shot it with Dullcote.

Hence:

I painted mine with a rattle can of Krylon, "Pebble", 3520, satin touch. It is essentially, Taupe.

Decals
 
Could Someone please give me the location of all the decals for the Astroid Hunter? I have the top and most of the bottom. For instance the two small A's with the arrow through it. And all the black arrows, where do they go on the model? A picture of the bottom would help.
Thanks for the help. Pictures comming SOOOON!! :D :D :chuckle:
Chief

Yes thanks Jeff. I thought those black arrows went on the side but was not sure. I painted mine all one body color. You will see, gonna finish it today or tomorrow and post my pictures. Thanks for the quick reply. Chief :D
