<VV> Emblem paint and wiper arms

[EVERETT WILSON]

I recall someone saying that Testors "Blue Angels Blue" was a color that matched the color of the grill bar on LM.  Perhaps it is similar to the blue on EM items as well.

Don't forget your model background from long ago, Testors has a wide 
variety of paint and colors in small amounts.

Nail polish is available in more stores than model paint, though. And it 
comes with its own applicator!
