Fort Worth tower 55
Posted by mreagant on Wednesday, October 6, 2021 6:43 PM

I'm adapting a Walthers Santa Fe interlocking tower kit to be a stand-in for the iconic Tower 55. I won't be counting the number of steps in the stairs so it'll be "close".  I would like to paint it in something that is a reasonable approximation the paint on the original.  Any guidance on what' close?
