Hun GREY for paint on Panda's 1/350 Arleigh Burke

Modelmaster Medium grey works for me.....

If you want accuracy, use our modern USN colors in our Colourcoats enamels, accurately matched to the appropriate FS colors:

M 03, Modern USN Haze Gray;
M 04, Modern USN Deck Gray; and,
M 06, Modern USN Antifouling Red.

We have no minimum order on paints, and we ship worldwide.

I have to say the Colourcoats enamels produce dead on outstanding results. Ive seen alot of models finished with them and they look very nice. I need to get off my patookus and order a few of them myself. When I get my Nimitz and Texas, you can bet I will.

So far I've built 2 Arleigh Burkes, the Churchill with Flt.2 and just finished the Arleith Burke Flt.1.

Tip 1: Go get aftermarket PE if you're doing that far. The stainless steel in the Flt.1 version is horrible. The Churchill wasn't nearly as bulky as the 1st Burke kit's PE.

Tip 2: If you have the Flt. 1 kit, get ready to buy aftermarket decals. The sheet in my kit was dried out and totally fell apart. I don't remember if there are any alternative decals on the sheet, but if there are I'd try one on a piece of scrap first. It will save a lot of anguish.

Tip 3: Get yourself s good seam filler. There are 4 areas on the Ftl.2 and 2 on the Flt. 1 where the hull and superstructure have pretty significant fit problems. Filling the seams really improve the overall build.

Above all else enjoy the kit! Even with it's detractions it's a fun build.

Thanks for the tips pathfinder.

I've noticed that Panda's decals are garbage...and I've read a similar reveiw about fit
problems...another atribute of Panda...

Which version are you building?

I asked the same question about a month ago...one of the replies that I thought was a good match was:

Haze Gray: FS 36270 (26270 for scale effect)
Deck Gray: FS 36008 (26176 for scale effect)

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I'll check those out.
