Most of the paint colours reccomended for the 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 original colours are bespoke to the line and are hard to find.
| Section | Recommended Colour | Selected Colour | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower hull | YC02 or the below mix: Red H3 + Russet H33 (60:40) | AK 3rd Gen Acrylics Carmine Red (AK11091) | Almost a perfect match by itself - a red with brown tones. |

I've not included the colours of the Cosmo Fighter figures, as they are so small.
