Bruce, do you mean that you're looking for color references, or actual paint colors to purchase?

Aye, you do have a bit of a problem, mate...
Well the first thing that I would do is put up a WANTED style thread here at MSW asking if anyone else here might have a set and send you a copy...then you will have the color reccomendations to cross over to which paint brand that you will be using, because to my knowledge, there aren't any designated People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) colors produced.

A great color cross over reference can be found here.


Another form of reference that you can do is to either use Google or Yahoo and do an image search for the specific ships that you are building, get some good color reference shots (if available), and make your own color reccomendations....Happy Hunting!
