Not to PEE in all of your morning breakfest....but I hope the recent issue with monokote's color matching issue is solved...

Here is a picture of 3-coverings....{ This was taken w/o the flash on the camera. THe light source is from the Garage lights]}
-The far right = ORACOTE cub yellow..
- Middle = Last 6-month old MONOKOTE cub yellow
-FAR left= NEW MONOKOTE cub yellow....

My point....
My 1/3rd cap 580 is covered in cub yellow.... Matches perfect to old cub yellow (if you call 6-months old)
and is a very close match to ORACOTE cub yellow..

The recent Cub yellow (far left) was sent from Hobby sevices... (sent 2 rolls) BOTH were Identical ...WAY OFF color...from previouse monokote..

My point....I wonder if the Monokote on this WACO, has the OLD cub yellow on it or the NEW CUB yellow.....

IT is A BIG Difference..... Not sure if it is a factory MESSUP on a few runs of color, or if this is there NEW color...????
Horrible Q&A if you ask me..

I will add that.... HOBBICO has given me First rate service....ALWAYS..... SO I can not complain what so ever, about that....
I like the finish of monokote, over Oracote, but if it isn't apllied properly, or if the color is messed up (we are not talking about SLIGHT color variences)
It can be a bit of a issue....
