ElectroSoldier Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hi guys. Like you guys at the minute Im interested in modelling some containers, but for a model railway but as a member here I thought the best people to ask would be you guys as they are intermodal :-) Ive got the colours I wanted so far for Evergreen RAL 6017 (Tamiya XF-71), Hapag-Lloyd RAL RAL 2000 (no colour), Maersk RAL 7037 (Hataka C249), OCL RAL 5013 (Vallejo 71090) and Tex RAL 3005 (No colour) but the one Im stuck on K-Line red, P&O Blue and MSC yellow. Can anybody help me find the correct RAL codes for these paints please? Any suggestions for the other colours would be good too as its a bit of a mine field trying to find model paints to match RAL codes, a lot of them dont seem to be made.

Satan's Goldfish Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Whilst I can't help with the exact RAL colours, colours do fade and weather so we've always worked on an 'if it looks right' theory. As odd as it sounds, some colours don't scale down well either, I can remember being told MSC yellow was a difficult one to get looking right in model form. If you look at repair patches on the prototype you'll see the paint shade doesn't match either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectroSoldier Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yeah Ive no problem to fade the colours I need however to start off with the right colour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Just as a thought, could you try emailing MSC etc and asking them for the info? Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectroSoldier Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 I did that before I came here. No response as yet. It seems nobody knows what the colour is, and those who do know like C-Rail-Intermodal dont answer emails Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
