Does anybody have any suggestions for paints to use on the Revell SMS Dresden I'm building for the WWI warships campaign? The instructions call out Revell paints, and in most case mixes of these colors. For example the main hull is a mixture of Revell Dust Grey, 80%, and White, 20%. I've found an online color matching site that allows me to substitute the Revell colors with paints commonly available in town, Tamiya, Testors, or Vallejo, but I'm hoping to find some ready mixed colors in those lines. The colors I'm looking for are the main hull color, the superstructure color, Grey, 80%, and White, 20%, and the darker deck color, Sand 50%, and Brown 50%.

Any suggestions are welcome.
