White Ensign Models | Colour Coats French Aircraft
Reviewed by Jay Laverty
If you have used their line of "Colourcoats" enamels before, you will be familiar with the excellent spraying characteristics of the paints along with their very good accuracy levels.
White Ensign match their paints with paint chips and colour reference manuals for all of their colours, and I know the research that goes into producing a colour is extensive, so that is good enough for me. The colours are vibrant and solid and as the range covers the entire spectrum of French WWII colours, there really is little else you could ask of White Ensign.
As usual I rate the Colourcoats range very highly and this review is more along the lines of letting the membership know that ready mixed colours for French Aircraft are available from WEM and that they are of the highest quality. At the end of the day, with the complete nature of this range, you will never need to search out, mix, or generally find any colour you need to complete any French Aircraft you want to do whether it be 32nd or not. (I have to confess to owning one of those lovely little 48th Azur Loire 130's myself.)
