Three U-Boat Colors?
Posted by: Ed VanTassel ()

Could Someone please suggest FS NUMBERS for the three primary u-boat colors. Hull, Light Grey, Dark Grey?
Now, PLEASE don't chastise me for not searching the site.
I have searched and found some information. However, the suggestions seem to be case specific to a certain paint BRAND, i.e., Tamiya, Humbrol. I personally use Floquil, and sometimes Testors. Generally I custom mix my colors to match the FS chips or photos. I imagine a lot of modelers out there do the same. I am an OLD armor modeler myself, but this new REVELL 1/72 U-BOAT is just such a watershed EVENT in scale modeling that I just can't resist building a couple. It reminds me of some other similar incidents in my scale modeling history, such as the Monogram release of the 1/48th scale B-29 many years ago, or Dragon's foray into 1/35th scale armor back in the 90's that finally forced Tamiya to 'raise the bar'.
I think, maybe having these three CRITICAL COLORS in a single thread with FS numbered suggestions would be helpful to everyone regardless of the Paint brand or formula we use. Thanks very much.
Ed
