: Hello All!
: This question has been one that no one really knows an answer to, but here I go again. Does anyone know of a color match close to the color White Star Buff? I tried the "British Gulf Armor Light Stone" by Testors and it seems too dark. This is my problem--I either find something: too dark, too yellow, or too orange. I am converting a Titanic into the Britannic(during wartime), and she needs a ton of this color.(masts, funnels, and all the vents, etc.) NOTE: I really don't want to have to mix. I was hoping someone out there found a match that was bought. Of course, if worse comes to worse, I will have to mix.
: Thanks,

If you want a good color match to Marschall's paintings in Art of Titanic, Then I recommend you use Humbrol's Medium Flesh. I have it applied to my funnels, and the color match even in strong sunlight is very good....
BTW, in her wartime hospital ship scheme, Britannic's funnels were a mustard yellow...:)
Salut,
Gary
