No 20 Crimson Gloss Enamel Humbrol AA0223 | Scale Model Shop - https://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/14ml-no-20-crimson-gloss-enamel-humbrol-aa0223-p6627/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA3JCvBhA8EiwA4kujZjae8v5l8XG5ulxekzqjmg6vPxH5x0hS8n55_XnD8pUvr3paAjzpbRoCy6MQAvD_BwE
It's available in a wide variety of sub variants. I think the Metalcote would be the most suitable. It should be available in the CONUS.
Would you by any chance also know the colour to the Eclipse Red Ring? I have been wanting to give mine the Red Ring back you see.
Thanks again Simon.
