All,
This is going to be for a rather large model, 1/9 Scale so the White I might do from a rattle can and could do the same with the Red or use an Airbrush since there isn't any really large areas.
Thanks in advance !
Regards
Bill

I've been told by a few shop owners that Model Master Italian Red works for this scheme, but I don't see how because all the airplanes I ever encountered in the Training Command at Navy Kings are/were painted white and orange. Need to look for a shade of training orange - on the red side - but still an orange.
Quite possible - I've never used it. Give it a try!
MM Italian Red is a vermillion. I have a '72 Road Runner painted in that colour and sometimes I think it's more orange than red. It might work just fine for OP's Skyhawk, IMHO.

Rufus,
Thanks for the information. A trip to the local emporium turned up a can or Tamiya "Italian Red" which does have Orange in it. While It probably could use a bit more Orange, the color appears to match a number of photographs pretty good - though that's usually risky . So I'll use that with gloss white. Make applying the decals easy, and then flat coat. Because this is a rather large scale, appx 1/10 or so, and constructed of foam I coated all the surfaces with PolyAcylic in an effort to reduce the visibility of the underlying foam. The paint doesn't attack that so this might actually look OK.
Thanks All !
Bill
