These pictures are perfect example of the extremes of interpretation of BR Crimson - and both look ok - so any colour the same or somewhere in between will look perfectly acceptable.

For painting I've used Humbrol enamel for maroons before - number 20 (Edit - thanks Paddy, I wasn't sure of the number). It does need matt-coating afterwards as it's a gloss, but good for decalling and looks good to my eye.

You could also use Humbrol Acrylic Crimson (20) which comes in a very handy aerosol.

Oops that's the number I meant (have amended the post) - thanks Paddy.

No problem Alan.  I get very good results from the Humbrol Acrylic aerosols especially if you prime with their aerosol primer beforehand (as mentioned previously).  The results are as good as airbrushing IMHO.

Have a great weekend.

When did Farish release the non weathered crimson Stanier brake?

Can't seem to find it now.

That's because the photo is of a kit built one - it's the Ultima / Etched Pixels kit. I should know, the photo is of the one I built :-)

Well that is a lovely model David.

No, they are a perfect example of the difference between BR Crimson and BR Maroon. Two quite different colours...
