In past reviews, we've looked at the growing line of White
Ensign Models' Colourcoats color-matched enamels that are produced
in Humrol/Xtracolor styled tins. In this installment, we'll
look at their line of ship colors that are color-matched to
modern naval paint chips.
These colors are designed to match up with the variety of
haze gray colors adopted by the modern navies in the world.
In their Modern Naval Colours line of matched colors:
- M01 - Royal Navy Light Gray
- M02 - Royal Navy Dark Deck Gray
- M03 - US Navy Haze Gray
- M04 - US Navy Deck Gray
- M05 - US Nevy Flight Deck Gray
- M06 - US Navy Anti-fouling Red
- M07 - French Navy Gray
- M08 - French Navy Deck Gray
- M11 - Russian Northern Fleet Gray
- M12 - Russian Deck Green
- M13 - Russian Deck Red
- M16 - Royal Navy Light Deck Gray
- M19 - Royal Navy Deck Green
- M20 - Russian Navy Baltic Fleet Gray
- M21 - US Navy Vietnam Riverine Green
- M22 - USCG Spar
Not a bad variety of colors and this line-up is still growing.
Stand by for more good things from WEM! What's nice about these tins is
that their shelf life is generally longer.
You can purchase these and any of the Colourcoat line directly
from the White Ensign Models
website. They have great service and are a unique resource for the
ship modeler - give them a try!
My sincere thanks to White
Ensign Models for these review samples!
