100SQN Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi, I am about to start my first ship model but I'm not sure which colours to use. Could anybody recommend which Tamiya or Vallejo colours I should use for my Tamiya 1/700 Gneisenau please ? I know other paint manufacturers do better matching colours but I'm not looking to buy another set of paints Many thanks Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi Simon You are probably looking for Hellgrau for your Gneisenau and looking at the Tamiya paints for comparison to the colourcoats I have you should be using XF19 Sky Grey or XF20 Medium grey to get somewhere near to a match HTH. beefy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
