bootneck Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm currently building a few 1:350 scale ships; two plastic kits and two scratchbuilds, and could do with some expert advice on which Acrylics to use when I get to the painting phase. I currently use Vallejo but they are mainly produced for aircraft and AFV colour ranges. From your experience, what are your recommendations; by brand name and part numbers, for modern RN and RFA vessels? cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul E Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi Mike, I have found that Humbrol 127 Satin US Ghost Grey to be a close match for RN Topsides grey and it is obtainable as an acrylic. I have just started using Vallejo acrylics and I like them a lot. I see that Vallejo do a Light Ghost Grey as an undercoat and a Dark Ghost Grey in their ModelAir colour range. I have not used either of these so I do not how close they match. I hope this helps Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Thanks Paul. I do have those Vallejo ghosts but not thought about them for naval stuff. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
