Hi Krade. I used a mix to get the colour close to what i thought it should be. I used Tamiya acrylics, for the main hull colour, Deck Tan (XF55) Flat White (XF2) Light Grey (XF66) and some Dark Grey (XF24) for the pre shading. Start with the flat white and add some drops of deck tan and light grey until you get the desired colour.
You will also need some primer as a base coat. go with a light grey or white primer so you wont have to add much mixed colour on top.
Hope this helps
I agree with the lighter primer. I primed in black and although I can certainly work with it (and there are some great benefits), my overall look is a bit cooler than I would like. This would be fine on a 1/72 model but not necessarily on a smaller scaled ship
