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" ?

I agree Andy, keep the original AF guns. Makes it look right.

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.

Scooby, what is that green you used for your, um... Greenhawk? Please could we have a comparison shot next to an exisiting :zforce: vehicle?

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 :zforce: , I`ll go back to hobbycraft and see if they have a lighter one, not a big selection there to be honest.

I found painting the doors and roof red made all the difference.

Nice idea using the Dart missiles!
