RMweb Gold mabel Posted May 10, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2014 Just treat myself to an Athearn GP38-2 in GATX blue livery .....and a Details West plough (sorry, plow) for the same. Can anyone tell me where to get the blue paint? or is there a Humbrol / Railmatch / whatever similar colour? Thanks T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Wintle Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 It looks like Conrail blue (probably because they are ex-CR), so if you can find a match for that... Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH-UK Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I swear by scalecoat for CR blue but that's a real pain to get in the UK. Someone on another forum suggested Testors French Blue, I seem to remember finding Testors in the past but I may be wrong about that, either way Humbrol has a french blue that looks like it will work (on my screen at least) however as colours vary by output device you'll probably need to decide for yourself. As it's a plough you may be able to get away with more variation than if it was an ECAFB or replacement radiator grilles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Try Humbrol 109 WW1 matt blue , that's what have used for touching added details . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
