Again i hope im in the right place... Im building the Airfix Swordfish from the Club kit... And there seems to be some confusion when it comes to the torpedo... It says paint it Humbrol 181 but i cant find this colour in any paint charts....

Also checking photos to get some idea seems to show that they have been painted pretty much every colour in the rainbow.... So im confused... Elp !   :banghead:

181 is gloss Dark Sea Blue. Humbrol's own chart gives FS15042 as the only alternative.

well.....fs15042 is also Tamiya xf17, or Vallejo 87 or 89b depending on your preferance, if you are looking for an alternative brand of paint
