Suggested colors for Grt White Fleet

Post by DWPC »

I'm ordering the coatings for the Glencoe OREGON (BB 3) in 1/225 and would appreciate recommendations in acrylics for the red lead bottom, wood tone & wash combo for the decks, and the buff superstructure. There are many acrylics in dark red matte tones that will work for the red lead, but the USN buff color circa 1900 has me spinning my wheels and I want to avoid mixing my own shade.

Lifecolor has an acrylic Buff, but haven't seen it in real life nor seen any assessments as to its match to the historical USN colour. It probably can't be too far off, though.
