Hi Stan,


Pity the WEM paint is no longer available although I must say I prefer working with acrylics. Especially the light green colour (US Navy WWII 2 green) puzzled me, somehow it looks different whenever the lighting conditions change but I would now say that Tamiya Field Grey (XF 65) is a very close match. I'm looking forward to some action footage and some pics of your crew. I bought both Italeri PT crew sets and have carried out some surgery on them (e.g. increasing the length of some legs) and reshaping helmets. I must confess I even drilled out their torsos to get rid of a few grams, needless to say I'm an obsessive weight watcher  ;) .


Regards,


Arjan

The kit was made by Robbe sadly they have folded. You could try contacting Krick to see if they plan to release the kit in the future. Please note my model is not built from the kit lots of scratch building to do.
