Intermediate Blue or Gunship Gray?

Post by EJM »

For the past few days, I've been painting my Project Habakkuk ship in a Measure 13 scheme which is described here:

Because the Habakkuk has an extremely long/large flight deck, I want to spray paint it rather than brush paint it. Airbrushing is out of the question as I have bad eyesight and don't own an airbrush. Since Deck Blue 20-B does not come in a spray can, then which color could I substitute that would come close to 20-B? Either FS35164 Intermediate Blue or FS36118 Gunship Gray?

Neither.

What spray cans do you have access to? In Model Master, #1917 FS15042 Dark Sea Blue would be closer- but you'd have to follow up with some Dullcoat.

Yep, I've had people tell me about that. Though I wasn't sure about using it as I've always had bad problems spraying gloss evenly in the past on models, then following with dullcoat. :( But the flight deck I have to make is in small sections and not one large piece, so I might give it a shot.
