Sauber C9 1989 LM Winner COLOR

Post by SimonaModelismo »

Hi people, a simple Question.

What is the color of the Sauber C9? Tamiya instructions say TS-17 (Gloss Aluminum), but i dont have it.

I only have acces to the whole set of Vallejo Metal Colors (amazing Paint btw), and i don't know is the color of the body is Aluminum, White Aluminun, or Silver.
Anyone who has built this model could guide me in what color is the right one for the body ??

Thank you!!

I have used TS30 - it fit's better than TS17 IMHO (I did not clearcoat it in contrast to most of my models).
It's called Metallic Silver; don't know which Vallejo color fits, but I'd use something that is a bit "whiter" than normal aluminium and where you don't see the metallic flakes.
