Bugatti EB110 Tamiya Paint question

Hi guys,

Well my summer project is to build the Monogram Bugatti EB110. Looks like mostly a box stock build with a few wires here and there, and dealing with the kit's finicky fitment. We'll see how it goes.

My question is this: To duplicate the iconic blue color that the car is most commonly seen in, which Tamiya TS spray paint is best? I buy online, so I can only view pictures of the cans. The cap on the can of "Light Blue" looked the closest, but I was afraid the paint itself would be too light. I don't have any other TS paint to mix with it. If anybody knows, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks,

Alex

Sounds like TS-10 French Blue is a pretty good match. It is slightly darker than Light Blue.

I applied Testor's French blue and it looks excellent.

Hey thanks guys, sounds like French Blue is the way to go. I'll be buying some shortly.
