Hi all:

I'm starting on the Moebius Tim Flock 1956 Chrysler kit and the instructions call out Testors Auto Lacquer "Wimbledon White". Well, I've been looking all over online and I can't find it anywhere. I know the Testors/Model Master stuff is discontinued, but poof ! Seems to have vaporized.

Anyone know of a close rattle can paint that is close to this white for this car ?

Thanks !

Tamiya TS-7 Racing White has an ivory tint to it that's close to Wimbledon White.

Thanks !!

The interior door panels and seats in the instructions are called out to be in "Testors Model Master Radome Tan (FS33613) (i.e. a natural leather color).

Also coming up empty on finding this stuff anywhere now.

Any ideas on something close ? I'd prefer a rattle can to brushing large areas of the interior.

Thanks

Thank you. Paint applied over Tamiya gray primer. A white primer base might lighten the final color.
