Hi Folks,I want to start a second Moebius 1/350 Seaview by weeks end.I painted my first Light Ghost Gray and I like it.I wish to paint my second a color with a bit more blue in it.If you can post a color sample and tell me a good color I can use in Testor Model Master Acryl it would be greatly appreciated.Thank You,Guy Schlicter.

You could try US Navy Blue-Grey, Intermediate Blue, or one of the German RLM Light Blues

looks like to my eye 50% duck's egg / 50% French Light Blue Gray or thereabouts.

Intermediate blue for the upper hull, duck egg blue for the bottom, oversprayed with semi-matt clearcoat should make for a real eye-catcher on your shelf!
