I was wondering what are the correct color paints for the New Hope X-Wing?

If you want to build like they did look no further than the Floquil line of paints.

Caboose Red for the stripes and wing markings.

Granted, they did use other products like out of the can primer, and of course the famous Pactra Stormy Sea Grey for the TIE. But it looks like that Pactra color is the same as the blue/grey X canopies.

I think the Stormy Sea Blue paint by Pactra is no longer being made.

I wonder if there is the same color in Tamiya enamel paints.Because Tamiya enamel was called "Pactra Tamiya" untll early 80's.
