The Ship Model Forum

Sorry if this has been addressed previously but I preparing to build the Trumpeter 1/350 BB55 in the dazzle paint scheme. I've mainly helped my Dad with his railroad layout - airbrushing rolling stock, etc... My question is paint... I know WEM has spot on color matches but I'm curious as to what other brands many of you have used in your builds. I definitely want to stay away from Testors as I've had problems with it lifting. I prefer acrylics but have and used enamels. I mostly airbrush and handpaint when necessary. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The only other acrylic options for paints sold as matching the original colours are the now-defunct Polly Scale and the in-business LifeColor. LifeColor can be hard to find, and you may have to order online.

De quoi s'agit-il?

Remember Model Master just released the USN WWII colors in Enamel and Acrylic. Pollyscale was made by Testor's just like Model Master.
