Interesting. Hatchette site and Bisset magazines site both still say 140 issues, wonder if they made a typo on the website. Wouldn't be the 1st time a website has had a typo.

welcome to the forum Tigerace..
I use ronseal multi purpose wood filler as I find it works well on the small imperfections and pin holes that you have to deal with on wood and brass. Only problem is that it goes off pretty quick so only buy the small tubes.

WELCOME TIGERACE when your finished painting all your hull with enamal based paint, make sure to put on two light coats of DULUX YAUGHT VARNISH, that will protect all your hard work on the painting, also , remember, two light coats are better than one heavy coat. yaught varnish is specially designed for water emersion as normal varnish will , trust me, peel off in time. jc

I know, it's maybe too late for many of you, but as I've (almost ) completed my hull, thought these cross references charts on several available colors suppliers could be of some help to the few who are still behind. You will also find a more complete page on the net with links that take you to zillion charts that give painting correspondences... www.master194.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4950Hope it will be of some interest, otherwise I'll take it away!

Hi Robert, I found this site too after a long trawl searching for a reference to Kriegsmarine Hellgrau 50 (light grey). Following the links from this site I found Humbrol's own mixing chart which gives the combinations of it's own paints which match the original German specs. Unfortunately, after careful measuring with graduated hypodermic syringes, twice, I ended up with a colour that was a considerable departure from the neutral/slightly bluish grey that it should be. So I gave up and diluted some Dunkelgrau from White Ensign with white at 14:5 which I think is much better. When I originally ordered my paints from White Ensign I overlooked the fact that the superstructure is a different grey to the middle of the hull, and of course when I realized my mistake they'd run out of Hellgrau. "!&%@+? "

LOL!!! But uh... Hellgrau 50? You sure meant 5000, right?! David, by the way, I received no 'MAYDAY' from you regarding the Plexiglas rods. Did you finally succeed in your new search amongst the UK suppliers? My offer is still on, you know! Very useful Robert. An essential for all model makers toolbox! And Gordon , thanks!... I thought somehow I could be already "old fashioned" with those charts. I'll leave 'em on the forum, then. Cheers boys, Robert

Hi Robert, Following your advice to keep trying, trusty ebay came to my rescue at a fraction of the price of a 'proper supplier'; the rod is actually in the post as I write! But thanks again for watching over me and offering emergency paramedic assistance, have some 'k'.

thank`s lads for the tip`s on the filler`s & varnish,it say`s in the build guide to use varnish before the use of the car primer? is this ok as it say`s it will stop the paint from soaking into the wood if applied before? does this make sense? thank`s tiger ace

Nah, I wouldn't. Varnish may stop the paint sticking properly. Primer is designed to go on to bare wood.
You could use a sanding sealer to fill the grain. This seals the wood and gives a smooth finish that paint will stick to.
Varnish and sealer are different products. I suspect that Hachette really mean sealer, not varnish.

it should be such "sandwich" : 1. wood 2. sealer (like Glattfix) 3. primer (like car primer) 4. paint 5. varnish (to protect the paint job) I hope it helps
