right grey for hull colour
Posted by shivinigh on Sunday, September 8, 2013 10:58 AM

hey I am doing my first ship model Hobbyboss' 1/700 sacle USS Momsen and am have fun building it but I am ready to start painting the hull and superstructure and am wondering what is the right shade of grey to use.

Haze Gray FS36270 for vertical surfaces     Deck Gray FS36118 for horizontal surfaces 

Flight Deck Gray is different from Deck Gray, don't get them confused. And don't use light blue!

This is the one that I would use:

Model Master neutral gray http://www.testors.com/products/136823

 

 

This is supposedly the correct shade:
