Hey group ... here's the thing. So, after a 40 year hiatus from building models. and looking around for some familiar names ... most are gone or rename and the chemistry is different.
I want to use one example for the this challenge because, I'm a little stumped. I got this plan for the Morgan that calls for a Floquil yellow ochre ... Floquill does not make yellow ochre any longer. They move into the model railroading arena (been there too).
Enter the Vallejo brand and their maaaaaaany branches shall we say (I like Vallejo for air brushing for many reasons).
Enter also the that Floquil is one of the narrow field of accepted paints if you want to have your work judged in anyway according to the standards by ... SHIP MODEL CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES, Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT
Model Shipways offers a paint ... however it is NO any of those listed in the extremely narrow list provided by Mystic, which by the way is dated all the back to 1980! Seems like an update there is in order for sure.
Any suggestions on paint matching ... and satisfying these narrow criterion? Oh here's that short list ...
- Floquil
- Pactra
- Humbrol
- Japan ???
