Greets all,

What acrylic paint available in the US could I use to paint an IJN ship whose last refit ws at Yokosuka? It has to be acrylic because international airlines do not take kindly to solvent-based substances nowadays...

Thanks in advance!

If you can find the Model MAster Marine acrylic color which is going oop that is one. Tamiya probably has a clsoe shade of grey for it, I can't give specific numbers, but with a little research and those that use the acrylics you should get pretty close.

Go to Free Time Hobbies or Battlefleet Models website. Both still carry MM Acryl and should have Yokosuka Gray.
