=== Paints Used ===
Most of the paint colours recommended for the [[:blog:models:yamato:index|Space Battleship Yamato 2199 / 2202]] series of kits are from Gunze / GSI Creos / Mr Color range, which are hard to source in the UK. In addition, most of the [[blog:models:yamato:index#paint_list|original paint sets]] are bespoke to the line and are out of production:

The colours used for this set are almost exactly the same as for [[:blog:models:yamato:gss_2|Great Imperial Garmillas Astro Fleet Warships Set #2]], as the **Haizelard** battleship is a variant of the earlier **Gaiderol**.

| Battleship upper hull green +\\ Destroyer 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. |
| Main lower hull green | **YC15**\\ or\\ Lime Green H50 +\\ Sandy Yellow H79 +\\ Black H2 | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Nakajima Interior Green (A.MIG-0269)\\ or\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color IJN Ash Grey (A.MIG-0262)\\ or\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color RLM84 Graublau (A.MIG-0256)\\ or\\ Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Duck Egg Green (A.MIG-0244) | I wanted to go slightly different to the simple 'light green' lower hull of **YC15** - which is just more of the same. \\ Instead I was sure of picking a colour that has //more// yellow to it. \\ Not quite sure of which of these tones to go with, but they all match better the lighter upper hull colour **YC07** or the equivalent. |
| Battleship 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. |
| Battleship hull grey parts | Blue Gray H42 + \\ Black H2 +\\ Purple H39 (60:30:10) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Medium Gunship Grey (A.MIG-0204) | A small number of vents/grills. |
| Battleship hull side grey parts | Gray H22 | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color Intermediate Blue (A.MIG-0228) | Multi-launch rocket/missile pod on the lower hull. |
| Battleship gold parts | Gold H9 + \\ Orange Yellow H24 (50:50) | AK Extreme Metal Gold | |
| 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. |

| Main body green | Lime Green H50 +\\ Neutral Grey H53 +\\ Khaki Green H80 +\\ Yellow Green H16 (40:40:10:10) | 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) | Slightly different green to most other Garmillas ships as part of the reccomended dazzle camo scheme. \\ But in my case I intend to use the same colour as on most of the destroyers and cruisers. |
| Main body dark green | Khaki Green H80 +\\ Black H2 (90:10) | **N/A** | Used as dazzle camo stripes. I don't intend to use a dazzle camo finish. |
