Fighter Plastic
Where do I get Revell model aircraft paints in Delhi?
I purchased a few real life 1:144 scale models of a few fighter aircraft. These are the build-it-yourself models by Revell.
I wanted some help on the colors 2 be used on these aircraft.The instruction sheet specifies using plastic paint for coloring the parts of the planes. However plastic paints are not available at any toy shops or stationary shops in Delhi.
Can someone tell me if I can use fabricolors or do I specifically need only plastic paint for these models?
Plastic paints are too expensive and are not available in any toy shops in Delhi.
Also, could someone also tell me where in Delhi could I purchase a set of plastic paint kits, if available anywhere.
Fabricolors are most likely tints/stain/dye based colours so its useless as a paint. The plastic model paints you seek are pigment based and your best source is on-line hobby stores :

If you cannot obtain such paints on-line, the the next best thing is probably the hardware store since you cannot get such paints toy or stationery shops. Get the smallest tin/bottle/jar of paint possible - if they provide sample jars, they are usually the best. I recommend acrylic paints for interior walls.
You will probably have to buy some the primary colours - red, blue and yellow together with white and black and perform some customised mixing.
A colour wheel is a recommended guide:

One tip with mixing - always mix a small amount of darker colour to a lighter main colour to adjust the lightness/darkness and not the other way around otherwise you will waste a lot of paint.
You may have to prepare the surface of the model so that the paint can stick to it by a gentle wash of water and dishwashing liquid to get rid of any moulding release agent still on the plastic.
