SHO Dragon Models 1/350 Ohio class submarine w/ launching missile build

Yeah, I have color confusion on the Ohio, I guess I am supposed to mix three paints for the hull? That's a first for me.

Neal;





Trust me.

Insignia Red. Testor's enamel if you can find it. I verified the color by holding color samples next to a hull.
There aren't too many benefits to pulling shipyard duty, so you take what you can get.

For bonus points, lay down a base coat of medium to dark gray primer then follow up with some full coats of *straight* Insignia Red.

Mixing different colour isn't so difficult if you have the right tool for it.
Here are some of these tools from a Danish hobby page

Then you need this

Edit
Forgot something-Sometimes another colour producer has the colour you need.
Like ET2SN proposal-I don't know how close the colour is to the real thing and I don't know how exactly you want this red colour shall be.
End edit
