JUST LANDED: REVELL PAINTS

New aerosol paints arrive for testing

A large and interesting parcel has just arrived from Germany, bearing a selection of Revell's new acrylic spray paints. Over 30 of Revell's most popular paint shades have made it into this new aerosol format, including gloss and matt clear coats. The shades to be tested include a number of earthy tones that look ideal for weathering, a few different blacks, plus an attractive Carmine Red (No.36) redolent of BR's 1950s coaching stock livery.

The 100ml cans boast of being fast drying, affording a deep lustre and hardwearing finish, so I'll be interested to see how they live up to their billing. Look out for a full review in Model Rail magazine in the coming months.

These Revell paints should now be available from your local model shop, but for more details see www.revell.de/en, or look up @RevellGermany or facebook.com/Revell on the big social media networks.
