ModelMaster Pullman Green

Bruce,

I'm in the, "semi-retired" phase of the hobby now. A little out of the loop. I always used Badger Pullman Green. Is it still available? I think another brand was, ModelFlex? I stopped airbrushing when all the changes started. I hope it helps and is not confusing..

Bruce,

I checked Badger Paints, they list Item 16-17 Pullman Green Modelflex paint, on their website. One source PD Hobby Shop, Item BAD16-17, located in Fraser,MI., phone number 586-296-6116, web site www.pdhobbyshop.com.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I've used Badger paints in the past but have to mail order them; they are very good quality. 

Bruce,

I just painted this Weaver Pullman-Bradley coach in Model Flex SAL Pullman Green:

Placed beside a car painted with Floquil Pullman Green the SAL Pullman green has a brown tint to it, but looks dead on from a SAL point of view.

Here's a K-Line car painted using the Floquil Pullman green:

It's hard to tell the difference in these photos, but eyeballing it I can see it.

I am not a fan of acrylics but a friend who used to paint trains professionally has high praise for Vellejo. Not sure how many railroad specific colors thay have though.

I used the Model Flex straight from the bottle, no thinning/mixing.  Best paint job I've done in a while I think BUT...you have to use fairly new paint.  I wouldn't use any Model Flex if has been opened for more than 1 year.  I had an old bottle and one my first attempt I had to strip it off again because it puddled up.  I bought 3 new bottles and the result was fine.  Still have 2 unopened bottles, think I got them from Walthers.

RPM (Testors) hes released 16 of the old PolyScale colors in the ModelMaster acrylic line.

I've used Model Flex with good results, but Badger seems to have a problem. keeping up with demand
