Paint for the Kestrel

    We have found an excellent paint made by Testors called "Model Master Acryl". It is best used to airbrush the wings and tail lightly, especially the white or lighter colored wings and tails. If it is put on too thickly, it will crack when the wing flexes, so keep it light. Here is the link for the color chart on Testor's webpage and also the .PDF file link if you want to download it from here. The paint is available in most hobby shops and by mail order and comes in a huge assortment of colors.
