<VV> Emblem paint

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Say, Everett - is the that the "Really Blue" Blue Angels Blue? <grin> 
 
I have touched-up a few early-model Turbo emblems in my time, always  with 
"Really Red" nail polish. The only problem is the early models always  
wanted to be taken out to dinner afterward!

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!
