TS-8 on model pictures?

I recently started working on one of my models from a while ago and I picked out tamiya ts-8 when I bought the model. Im wondering how bright it will look on the model itself though. Anyone have pictures? Im interested to see what it looks like with everything(prep, primer, etc) on the car body. If you have any, post them up or just a link, TIA.
Because judging from the cap, it looks almost too bright, which might not look that great on the model Im working on.

Cool. Should be a good color. In real life, do they look like a "regular" red? I just don't want it to be not dark/deep enough. thanks Vric, your a big help for sure.

It's a very vibrant red. Very close to cap color, if I remember correctly. Sometimes pictures make it look orange, but in real life, you can tell it is red.

Be aware that each coat darkens it a bit. So prep and paint all parts evenly, and if you have to touch up anything you may have to tint it lighter. It's just a bit more translucent than most reds... - Mark

Re: TS-8 on model pictures?

You can alter the hue with different base coats as, like scale-master said, it's a bit transluscent. White is to prefer over a grey primer for this one, but pink or orange will add to the end result and give a different hue than the white primer will.
