KEB Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Forgive me for opening a can of worms....been searching here and the web for some "definitive" paints to use for my 1/32 Tamiya Corsair two tone camo...lots of opinions and lots of great looking builds out there. Some help with this would be much appreciated, the plane will be weathered.... Thanks Guys!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Well, I can only speak from Model Master colors as that's my experience. The undersides were something very similar to Light Gull Gray 36440. The upper surfaces are a light blue-gray; some sources have cited using 35164 Intermediate blue, but this is too dark. A number of years ago MM came out with the correct color (or as close as they could get), called "Navy Blue Gray." Probably tough to find now, I'm lucky to have a couple bottles purchased years ago. It's lighter than the Intermediate Blue. Not sure what offerings in other paint lines would cover these. What do you normally use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scimitar Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 PRU blue is the best substitute; it's too close to USN blue grey to notice a real difference and it would spare you mixing colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Vallejo has both of these colours right out of the box. 71.109 blue gray/pru blue 71.298 light gray used them on my recent F4F wildcat build. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
