JSC Bredford Dolphin drilling platform 1:250 limited edition

It was a bit of trial and error. Match the colour by testing some paint near printed parts. Be very careful if you use acrylic paint, as too much water will warp the lasercut parts. You may want to use enamel paint (Revell, Humbrol).

Yours is looking great.

I paint the laser parts with the airbrush:


For this model you can use orange rust from Vallejo, number 71.130
I use it for the Jahre Viking who has the same color as the Bredford Dolphin and the color match perfect ( I have this one also in my stock ):

How long did this and the FPSO take to build?

[Beachead]

Cool. I don't have an air brush but I'm assuming it would be the best method to paint?

[Marco]

Muirhd - about 2 months each.
Beachead - I've tried spraypaint on other models, but finding the exact shade here may be a challenge.

It's likely that the Bredford Dolphin is laid up as well, no recent positioning info since 2017:
