Q I need specific advice on how to blend in areas of the smokebox of a Hornby ‘Britannia’, as the paint looks more like a dark grey than black. Do you know what the best paint would be?

George says: Most manufacturers use a satin black for smokeboxes and other similar areas, such as the roof, tender top and running plates, but achieving an exact match with tins of model paint isn’t always possible.
