John Langton Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi I am currently buildind a tomcat or two. Can anyone let me know the tamiya acrylic colour of the missiles? End is white but what number is the grey? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serelle Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 John, I think Tamiya doesn't have an exact match for the FS36375 color, which is the main color of US modern missiles. :D Serelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 These are FS36375, Light Ghost Gray. I don't think there's a Tamiya match straight out the bottle, but Humbrol, Testors and Xtracolor all make this shade. HTH, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Langton Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 great. Thanks for the help guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 As a non-Tamiya user, I'm shocked to hear that a gap in their color line happens to be arguably the most important color in US Navy camouflage schemes for nearly the past two decades....

speedlimit Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 How about the gunze line of acrylics? Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Langton Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 I was hoping to be able to get on with the job quickly using the paints I have. Now it looks like there will be a delay whilst I source some new paints Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Serelle Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) John, found this paint mix for FS36375 on a Tamiya Magazine using Tamiya Acrylic paints: XF-2 Flat White: 15 XF-24 Dark Grey: 3 XF-66 Light Grey: 2 Never tried it though!

John Langton Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Serelle thanks for your information. I think I will give this a try and let you know how it turns out. Keep an eye on the "My next project" in the "In Progress" forum. I think it will be worth me also looking into getting the colour from another maker also. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
