Hi

I've been building a Tamiya Birdcage corsair which has been troublesome to say the least! - Nothing to do with the quality of the kit, more the builder!!

The colour scheme I was painting it was the three colour scheme white, intermediate blue and non specular dark blue(?)

I checked references on some website and bought Humbrol colour 144 Intermediate blue but on applying it, this appears way to grey, colour pictures I have of a similar model show it to be very blue.

Can anybody help me with what colour I should be using?....

Thanks in advance.
Tim.
