[StartQuote] Hi Jeff, I'm not sure I'm following you on why you don't want to use the WEM paint for your hull. It is oil based and should work well with the other colors you have. I used to be caught up in getting the exact color paint but I'm finding that less important these days. I find it more important to have written or photographic evidence of the color. I have some thoughts for you on anti-fouling red though.. Tamiya is an alcohol based acrylic paint. To get a good representation of anti-fouling red I would take Tamiya Red and mix the Tamiya Hull Red (very brown in color) until you get a mix you like. Keep notes on the ratios for future reference. I use pipettes and keep count of the drops of each color. Be sure to let it dry before you make a decision. If it's too brown back off on the hull red. If it's too red, add a little more hull red. Another option is Vallejo paint. They are water based acrylics. Here's a reference on mixes of their colors to achieve various naval colors. http://www.ipmsswamp.com/files/VallejoWWIINavalColorEquivalents.pdf Let us know how we can help and welcome back to the hobby. Remember to have fun with it. Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
