US Coast Guard Paint

[Sam88!]

I am trying to do a 1/700 shapeways Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw as she appeared in January 1945. She is overall flat white but her stack is spar. I am trying to match the spar color to an easily available paint. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you for your time.

If this is the particular shade of Spar Brown you're looking for:

and you like using Tamiya, try XF 68 NATO Brown lightened with XF 57 Buff. Amount of lightening depends on how much weathering you want to do.

Not sure if it is still available but Colourcoats had a Spar. I picked one up a couple of years ago for a cutter I plan to make. A quick search shows it https://www.sovereignhobbies.co.uk/coll ... r-fs-30371

Thank you gentlemen. I tried colurcoats but the one company who sells in the US but they had a thirty diplomat minimum order and they had nothing else I needed.
