ffg-7 ohp paint question

I would like to pipe in here.I have used with good luck I might add, MODELMASTER by TESTORS "RUST" for all my "below the waterline "paint on ships for quite some years now.I used the deck grey flat for flight deck areas and lightened "neutral grey"for the rest of the hulls on my ships.It looks okay and not as dark.    tankerbuilder

thanks for the reply ed.  i have a source of polyscale locally, and i'm certian they have the corresponding grays. 

cheers!

i'll post some pics of the wip.  my brother served on the mc'clusky for four years in the early 'aughts.

The spec for haze gray is 26270.  ModelMaster Neutral Gray is 36270, the difference being satin vs flat.

MM Gunship Gray is good for deck gray.  MM Engine Gray is good for new unweathered flight deck no-skid.   It soon weathers to gunship.

A great hull red is found in the model railroad side of the hobby shop.  Look for PollyScale Railroad Red Zinc Chromate.  Otherwise look for mineral red/boxcar red.   Another good one is Krylon red primer.

White Ensign's Colourcoat line of paints have all these colors (or is it colours) accurately mixed to the appropriate specifications
