Naval box colour request

**Quatermass** · 30th November 2017, 11:36 AM

Do any members know the correct B.S. yellow/buff colour used on British WW2 Naval boxes.
Looking to repaint a replacement part on a C102 box.
Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention, B&Q will mix you "Valspar" paint to BS381C

Thanks, that's good to know. I've found model paints (Tamiya XF60 & Xtracolor X029) which are apparently matches to BS381.
I'll try those first (possibly with a little white added) and see how they match with the original.
Thanks again.
