Stuntflyer Posted September 3, 2014 #1 Posted September 3, 2014 Hello, Does anyone know what these Model Shipways' Syren colors, hull/spar black and bright red would be in either Model Masters, Floquil or any other good quality acrylic paint that is still available? I realize that floquil is no longer in business but some colors are still available online. Thanks, Mike Quote Current build - Sloop Speedwell 1752 (POF) Completed builds - 18 Century Longboat (POB) , HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 (POB), HMS Winchelsea 1764 (POB) Member: Ship Model Society of New Jersey
kurtvd19 Posted September 3, 2014 #2 Posted September 3, 2014 The Badger Modelflex Marine Acrylic's have good matches. Hull Black ((#16-412) is a flat black - pure black. Either Windjammer Red (#16-424) or Navy Red (#16-402) would be close. For a slightly grayish black Wrought Iron Black (#16-413) is good for representing blackened metal and is also a good hull color - I use it a lot for hulls of larger models. Ages of Sail (an advertiser here) carries the Badger paints. Kurt Quote Kurt Van Dahm Director NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD www.thenrg.org SAY NO TO PIRACY.
