Maroon 18 ?

I'm working on the 1/72nd Airfix Hawk H-81-A and useing Starfighter Decals #72-134 Pre-War USAAC P-40B for an upcoming display for the 55th Fighter Squadron Centenary in August.

 

Mark says that the backside of the prop is Maroon 18 and according to the IPMS/USA Color Cross Reference, that codes out to be FS10076.

 

Might anyone know a model paint that is close to this maroon?

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

Maybe Tamiya Red-Brown?

Maroon is simply a reddish black that has little to no blue (purple) cast to it. However, I would look in the CAR colors, as I'm betting one of them has a maroon, since it's a popular hot rod color.

Keith, thanks for the photo. That really helps.

 

Gil, I hadn't thought of car colors. I'll have to look there.

Your welcome. Here is another one, kind of dark but maybe a RR color would work?

That info is spot-on. Thanks for the link and what's great, I have Vallejo 814 on hand :D

 

Thank you all for the info and ideas.

 

Stuff like this makes IPMS a wonderful organization.
