George, the beauty of electric is that you can use anything. On this one, I went to Menards and bought sample size bottles of Painter's Pride latex, which I had them mix for me to colors shown. The sample size can only be mixed in eggshell finish, which is sort of a dull finish that works well for a military scheme. You could put some sort of clear coat on it if you want a high gloss finish, or go ahead and have them mix up a quart of high gloss latex in the colors you want. A quart would probably paint 4 or 5 airplanes. If you are looking for a fuel proof finish, I would go with the Nelson Hobby paints. They are also water based, very easy to use, odorless, and fuelproof. They also can mix any of the Luftwaffe colors for you.
