If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
Vietnam-era Navy Haze Gray
in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques

Good morning!
I am in need of help. I'm building a USS Forrest Sherman (DD-933) model that I'm converting to a Vietnam-era USS Jonas Ingram (DD-938). The problem I have is that I can't find the haze gray used in Vietnam as a stand-alone color. I was wondering if any of you all knew where I could find it. I should also note that, being colorblind, I am limited in the amount of mixing I am able to do with any degree of accuracy. Does anyone know where I can a very close equivalent color, or one that can be made by only mixing two colors together? This will be for airbrushing, and I'm not really used to lacquer or enamel (though I can learn if needed). I tend to use Tamiya, Vallejo, and Mission Models paints, but I'm not locked into any one brand.
Thanks!
