Cruiser
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 Garmillas destroyers and cruisers in the other sets.
Submarine
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. |
