How accurate are the Tamiya IJN colours

Post by Sutho »

Just wondering what peoples opinions are of the Tamiya IJN colours namely Kure Grey and Sasebo grey that they supply in their acrylic paint range.

Comparisson to WEM who I buy my paint off would be appreciate. Is the colour accurate or similar to theirs?

They are not at all accurate to the IJN WEM paints.

Yes. The WEM paints are accurate matches for the 4 IJN shipyards.
