Hi this is my first time on this site so I may be asking something thats already been asked before.
I'am after the acrylic colours for German, Jap, American and Italian ships of WWII, I have seen them in enamals but perfer using acrylic.

I have only just returned to ship modelling after a long break so any help much appreciated.

Hello Luciano!
First let me welcome you to Armorama ! Glad to have you with us mate!
As far as I know, There are two companies that have a line of ship colors for all navies. White Ensign models (WEM) and Model Masters by testers. Ask John Snyder of WEM's he is a helpful fellow and knows his paints. I hope this answers your question! And once again, welcome aboard!

Cheers,

Garry

Thanks Garry,

I will try and contact John for advise on acrylic colours.

Although reading plenty of books on the German ships none of them detail the ship colours, I find this amazing compared with the books on aircraft and armour.

Ciao
Luciano
