I´m gonna try paint it myself as I got it for half the price and Märklin can´t (or don´t want to) fix the car. What colour do I use? I mainly use Humbrol colours. It´s the red DB colours. Is Isignia red, 153 too dark?

Just tick the boxes for the brand(s) you want. The site takes a bit of "learning" but is worth it. http://scalemodeldb.com/paintcharts/revell regards Kimball

Unfortunately I don´t know any retailer here in Sweden that sells colours from Testors. They do sell some other stuff from Testors. The Humbrol Ferrari red does look good enough. It differs by 30,64 though...
