I know that makes sense and it would look better if the guns were realistically painted, however I kind of like the "basic" red guns, I think if I leave them it may look more "authentic" ?Ironblood wrote:Maybe paint your guns a more realistic colour too like black or a metallic silver

I agree Andy, keep the original AF guns. Makes it look right.
Re: Z force outpost
Maybe paint the original guns that came with it red instead?
I remember Jimbo went mad trying to find a matching paint for Z Force green. There is no known spray.
The closest colour is Humbrol Enamel Satin 131 which is the one that Jimbo, TKW and I use. It's not ideal.

Here it is next to the battle tank and a slightly darker green Jeep.
Brunswick green, as it says on the tin, maybe a little dark for
, I`ll go back to hobbycraft and see if they have a lighter one, not a big selection there to be honest.

Nice idea using the Dart missiles!
