Model Shipway Paint Equivalents


Recommended Posts

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

Current build - Sloop Speedwell 1752 (POF)

Completed builds - 18 Century Longboat (POB) , HM Cutter Cheerful  1806 (POB), HMS Winchelsea 1764 (POB)

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.
