Hello,
I need to paint my PT Boat in Measure 14 colours which means all vertical surfaces are to be Ocean Gray 5-O, whilst all horizontal surfaces are to be Deck Blue 20-B. I cannot get hold of any Testors paints in the UK and wondered if anyone could help me with what Model Air colours would be a match. I have tried to compare using the computer and a colour sheet from a magazine but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
regards
Toby Knight

White Ensign sells the exact matched paints and they're manufactured in England so you shouldn't have any trouble getting it.

Tracy,
Thanks for the reply. I had already looked at WEM, but the paints are enamel, and I prefer to use acrylics, which I should have really put in my initial post.
