I use Humbrol 127 as being pretty close to the tint I want at 1:192 scale.

Depending on your definition of current, they have been painted BS381C 676 Light Weatherworks Grey since about 1966/1969 for the hull which either White Ensign do in their paints or Phoenix paints do as well. Phoenix are a model railway bunch who do paint in larger size tins whereas White Ensign do Humbrol size tinlets.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good Tamiya, Revell, or other common acrylic paint that is good for the hull of modern Royal Navy warships? I'm making a model of a type 42 destroyer and I'm struggling to get that slightly light bluish hull colour right.

Thanks

Howard
