Ta. I shall see what the equivalent colours are in proper paints... 😉

I may be nicking the colour scheme. Looks nice.

For the light blue I use a mix of Humbrol 25 & 89 for the basecoat and then 89 for the highlight.
I guess that's why they call it the blues.....

The right ones!

Cracked the blue there and they are magnificent.

Cheers! Same blue as always though! :) Curiously the same shade of light blue looks very washed out in these photos:
