Hms Invincible- Painting- Need Advice.....

[roughneck06]

I was going through some boxes this weekend and found a GHQ 1:2400 scale HMS Invincible kit ( can't remember if it was a gift from a girlfriend or what ) I need some advice on paint colors for the flight deck, the hull, and for the SHARS and helos ( man those things are TINY!). I usually use Testors paints.  Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated!

25 yrs ago- wow! I was a Platoon Leader in 2d BN 7th CAV then- how time flies!

ok after a little digging i cant find any  matches to the testors range, but i have found the FS numbers

Hulls are FS36473 or Humbrol 64

flight decks are normaly FS36231 or Humbrol 27

some flight decks are apparntly darker so try FS36076. or Humbrol 32.

For the Shars and seakings, try FS36118. or Humbrol 123, aka extra dark sea grey.

I got the Humbrol matches off Thorvic, the FS codes came from the IPMS stockholm site.
