Don Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Hello all, I was wondering if any paint manufacturer makes sets of paint for World War II ships? I have a 1/350 Tribal-Class HMCS Huron on the way and a Fletcher Destroyer that I just primed was looking at the various Vallejo paint sets for other WWII subjects but there's nothing for the Royal Navy/RCN or USN. I generally use Tamiya but it gets old having to constantly mix colors. If no paint sets, does anyone make RN premixed colors in acrylic? Thanks!

GSymmonds Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 LifeColor makes a Western Approaches set: LifeColor Royal Navy WWII Western Approach - Late War Set 2 (22ml x 6). Includes UA 637 Hull Red, UA 638 W.A Blue, UA 639 W.A Green, UA 640 White, UA 641 Semtex Green, UA 642 Corticene. https://www.scalewarship.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=573 The White (UA 640) is a bit of a bear to get to lay down nicely. All the others are very good. I'm building the 1/72 scale Revell Flower Class Corvette at the moment - have had to go back and order more white a few times!

Graham Wow that's exactly what I need for my HMCS Huron! Many thanks! Cheers! Don. EDIT: I have no idea why this is in bold lettering... sorry...

GSymmonds Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 LifeColor makes a couple of sets for WWII US Navy as well. Not to worry about the font! I haven't figured it out yet myself! Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
