I'd like to use Tamiya acrylic but have no ideas what colors to mix to get a realistic finish. Any ideas?
*edit I just saw that Model Master has a brass in enamel. Will that be a close match?
Bronze...or brass...

Always look online. That being said, apparently submarines are like steam locomotives. No one ever takes a picture from behind.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

That's because it's a super secret hush-hush subject! And aren't the shrouded fan type screws on the newest subs made from composite materials? I had read somewhere that the Seawolf type boats are like that.

As a retired USN submariner, I will say that the color is not classified. Use brass or bronze. However, the blade count and the angle and pitch of those blades is highly classified.

I usually use brass with just a touch of bronze to tone it down til it suits me.

I would say this . If you are weathering her , mix one or two drops of well stirred aluminum with the brass .That makes it look like the screws have been through the abrasiveness of salt water .
If just a nice looking sub , then bright brass or a higher shine coating of the color I suggested . T.B.
Well ;
You are Welcome , Glad to be some help ! T.B.
To me, there is a big difference between brass and bronze. To get a feel for bronze color, look at statues in a park or art museum. To create bronze color, I use a base coat of copper, followed by a thin coating of medium or dark brown. If I want it weathered, I add a very thin coat of olive drab or olive green, irregularly applied. I usually apply the brown with an airbrush but do the olive color drybrush.
