#47042, "Colour for anti-fouling?"


          

Hi!
I'm starting to paint my Minicraft Titanic, and I couldn't found the recommended paint (Revell 37) for anti-fouling, as where I live the best I can get is Humbrol.

So I bought Humbrol 70 for the anti-fouling, I've seen in some charts it would be roughly the equivalent to the Revell I needed. However, now it doesn't seem "enough red" to be the anti-fouling colour.

So, is it accurate, can I paint with this? Or is there any mix I can make with Humbrol paints, to get a better result? I searched in the paint guide but haven't found Humbrol equivalents to this.

Thanks,
Guilherme

Guilherme,

The antifouling paint applied by H&W to the hulls of White Star Line ships was more of a "brick" color than a red. Humbrol 70 should do just fine.
