Ta. I shall see what the equivalent colours are in proper paints...
I may be nicking the colour scheme. Looks nice.

Thanks fellas. Same blue as always for the coat - Humbrol 104 Oxford Blue for the basecoat and 25 Blue for the highlight. Historical fact: Every army on Earth used that combination for their blue coats. Who knew...?
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:
