The colours used for this set are almost exactly the same as for Great Imperial Garmillas Astro Fleet Warships Set #2, as the Haizelard battleship is a variant of the earlier Gaiderol.
Haizelard Battleship
Section | Recommended Colour | Selected Colour | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
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. |
Dermameya Landing Ship
Section | Recommended Colour | Selected Colour | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
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. |
Sumaruhe Fighter

Main body green | Yellow Green H16 + White H1 + Green H6 + Blue Grey H42 (40:20:20:20) | 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) | Intend to keep this the same colour as the main Garmillas destroyers and cruisers. |
Main body dark green | Green H6 + Yellow Green H16 + Blue Gray H42 + Gray H22 (30:30:30:10) | Mig AMMO Acrylic Color RLM80 Olivegrun (A.MIG-0248) | Basic dazzle camo scheme. I'll try to replicate this with this contrasting darker green. |
Main body blue | ??? | Vallejo Mecha Color Titan Dark Blue (69.022) | Artwork shows this dark blue as part of the camo scheme (nose cone and wing tips), but doesn't appear to be listed. |
