                        PT-117 paint
                        Posted by Bob H on Thursday, March 16, 2017 10:48 PM

                        I am modeling Revells PT as PT-117 as launched. Are there any paints that are easy to find and equivalent to Navy Light grey 5-L or Navy dark grey 5-d as used in early PT production.

                        Here's a direct link to one of the US sellers Bish referenced.  

                        https://www.hbhobbies.com/collections/us-navy

                        I've ordered from them and they are very quick and reliable.

                        Colourcoat paint is very good stuff.  Comes in little tins like Humbrol

                        .
