Can I use White ensign models colourcoats, Royal navy, RN 19 antibegroningssystem Red or US Navy USA 14 Norfolk 65A Antibegroningssystem RED, Can I use these colours to paint IJN Ship ww2, or can anyone recommand another color? Humbrol????

                        I recommend that you go to this link and follow this builder's example of mixing your own:

                        As an aside, since there is nothing unique about Tamiya's Hull Red color, I would not be adverse to buying the Model Shipways paint found here, especially since Tamiya colors tend to be difficult to work with:

                        White Ensign makes an IJN red antifouling paint, WEMCC IJN 11.  Order it direct!  Forget about the Tamiya hull red, as it is way too dark....

                        I agree that WEM is probably the best bet.  I have never gone wrong with their color line.
