Stephen Dearden Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hi all, I am trying to find a paint colour as close as possible to what NASA used to call International Red. This is the colour of the booster gantries used in the early Mercury and Gemini launches. I am gonna build the old Revell/Atlantis Mercury Capsule & Atlas Booster kit. The closest I can find is Tamiya's LP-42 Mica Red. Does anyone have any better recommendations? Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 As far as I know, FS31136 is sometimes referred to as "International Red". I would be surprised if NASA did not use Federal Standard colors. https://www.e-paint.co.uk/colour-alternatives.asp?cRange=Federal+Standard+595C&cRef=31136&cDescription=International+red+/+CARC+aircraft+red+/+ANA+619 If you cant find a good equivalent, I have original sample of this colors from 1956 FS which is right time period and I can do a match.
