U.S. Navy Paint Colors
Posted by loudscott on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 2:43 PM

I have read through and searched various threads conserning US Navy WWII paint colors. However, Lifecolor paints and WEM paints while good suggestions are unavailable as far as I can find. In any event I prefer to work with acrylics. The following is from the Tamyia Missouri manual:

Haze Gray

Medium Gray XF20: 3

Flat White XF2:   2

Dark Gray XF24:   1

 

Deck Blue

Dark Gray XF24:   4

Flat White XF2:   6

Flat Blue XF8:    3

Flat Red XF7:     1

 

Navy Blue

Royal Blue X3:    1

Medium Blue XF18: 1

Flat Base X21:    1

I have the Synder and Short Ent. paint chips and these mixes/ratios are not a spot on match. Sooooooooooo I was wondering if anybody has a better scheme using Tamyia paints versus the one I've listed above.

Scott
