^ Section ^ Recommended Colour ^ Selected Colour ^ Notes ^
| Main hull green | **YC07** \\ or \\ **YC08** \\ or\\ IJA Green H60 +\\ Interior Green H58 +\\ Bright Green H26 +\\ White H1 (40:30:20:10) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color IJN Mitsubishi Green (A.MIG-0265) +\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Mitsubishi Interior Green (A.MIG-0270)\\ or\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Pale Green (A.MIG-0060) +\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Mitsubishi Interior Green (A.MIG-0270) | IJN/Mitsubish Green A.MIG-0060 is a //lighter// green (more yellow?) than Pale Green A.MIG-0265. This __broadly__ corresponds to **YC07** and **YC08** options. \\ My preference is towards the lighter option, may benefit from a drop or two of pure white. |
| Main hull dark green | **YC09** or\\ Dark Green H36 | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color RLM70 Schwartzgrun (A.MIG-0232) or\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color RLM80 Olivegrun (A.MIG-0248) | Mainly used for the leading edge 'crest' on the front of the Garmillas ships. |
| Main hull orange | Orange Yellow H24 +\\ Wood Brown H37 (70:30) | | This is for the scoop/eye/ramjet intakes and need to be feathered from yellow to deep orange/red. |
| Engine nozzle | Steel H18 | AK Extreme Metal Duraluminum | Already in collection - very nice metallic colour. |
//Note: These are all the same as the normal [[:blog:models:yamato:gss_2202|Garmillas destroyers and cruisers]] in the other sets.//

^ Section ^ Recommended Colour ^ Selected Colour ^ Notes ^
| Main upper hull | **YC20** \\ or\\ Blue Gray H42 +\\ White H1 +\\ Bright Blue H15 +\\ Bright Green H26 (50:30:10:10) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color IJA Light Grey Green (A.MIG-0259) | |
| Main lower hull | Navy Blue H54 +\\ Bright Blue H15 +\\ Bright Green H26 +\\ Black H2 (50:20:20:10) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color RLM75 Grauviolet (A.MIG-0254) | |
| Hull grey parts | Gray H22 | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Dark Compass Grey (A.MIG-208) | |
//Note: For the UX-01, I've gone with generally grey-toned colours to distinguish it from the main Garmillas ship schemes.//
== Czvarke Fighter (Red) ==
^ Section ^ Recommended Colour ^ Selected Colour ^ Notes ^
| Main red body | Russet H33 +\\ Brown H7 (60:40) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Blood Red (A.MIG-121) | |
| Main lower body | **N/A** | | The OEM painting guide has the red colour extending to the underside. |
| Canopy | Bright Blue H15 +\\ Black H2 (80:20) | Vallejo Mecha Color Titan Dark Blue (69.022) | As per green fighter. |
== Czvarke Fighter (Green) ==
^ Section ^ Recommended Colour ^ Selected Colour ^ Notes ^
| Main green upper body | Yellow Green H16 +\\ Neutral Grey H53 +\\ Black H2 +\\ Emerald Green H46 (40:30:20:10) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color IJN Mitsubishi Green (A.MIG-0265) +\\ White | Picked the same colour as the main Garmillas warships, but add a little white to lighten it. |
| Main grey lower body | Grey H22 +\\ Black H2 (70:30) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Dunkelgelb High Light (A.MIG-904) | The listed colours look too dark to me. I picked a more traditional fighter aircraft off-white-green for the underside to tone with the light green upper. |
| Canopy | Bright Blue H15 +\\ Black H2 (80:20) | Vallejo Mecha Color Titan Dark Blue (69.022) | Same as red fighter. |
