Keihan Museum Train color question ...

[Gordon Werner]

Hello folks ...

 

I am thinking of painting a model to match the Keihan 100th Anniversary Museum train from back in 2010

Details on this train: http://rail.hobidas.com/blog/natori/archives/2010/06/post_12.html

 

Does anyone know what color would be the best match for this train? Since the solvents in paint prevent them from being shipped to the US, I would love to know what color everyone would suggest I use. The site I linked to above refers to "Moss Green" but that really isn't a definable color (at least not to me). I know that it isn't the standard dark "Keihan Green" as you can see in the photos in the "more pics" link above

 

 

Thx in advance

 

Gordon

A possible contender could be this one http://www.humbrol.com/uk-en/shop/paints/acrylic-paints/239-british-racing-green-gloss-12ml-acrylic-paint.html or this one http://www.humbrol.com/uk-en/shop/paints/acrylic-paints/rc405-gwr-br-green-matt-14ml-acrylic-rail-colour-paint.html , the latter you would have to use a gloss varnish to give it that shine.
