I use Tamiya Insignia White which is a very light grey.
Thank you! Been having some problems getting the right chassis color for a while since I typically use just Tamiya paint. |

Thanks for the info! Guess I'll avoid working on this kit until I can get my hands on a profinish body. What do you use for removing the predone finish on the kit? |

I've started using either white glue or just clear paint (Tamiya) to keep windows in. Clear paint seems to work pretty well as you don't need to be as selective of where it goes. |
