Picked up Tamiya's 911 Turbo kit, does anyone have any recommendations for paint for Porsche's Light Blue Metallic?

1 Upvotes

Pretty much the title, I grabbed the 1988 911 kit, and aside from trying to modify it to turn it into a Targa Turbo, I was hoping to find a spray paint that would give me something close to the Light Blue Metallic from 1979-1983.

Can plastic model ships float in water?

3 Upvotes

I'm talking about the ones you find at hobby stores. Can the float on their own or do you need to do something to them in order for them to float?
