HELP! FAA Dark Sea Blue.

Post by Stuart »

Hi guys,

the Dark Sea Blue used by the FAA in the later war years on their Corsairs and Hellcats - Can anyone recommend a good paint match - preferably enamel.

Cheers,

Stuart

I use Revell Night Blue 54, it is available in 'Email' enamel and 'Aqua' acrylic.
