Discontinued paint? Testors

Post by Crimson87 »

So i recently started my model building again. I'm working on a 1:1400 scale Klingon Negh'Var from Nova Hobbies. Anyway I started looking for the second layer of paint that goes on it to make it match the rest on my fleet. Got half a bottle left.... not quite enough to finish an airbrush job. The color is Carrier Type 4256 from testors. Can't seem to find the color anywhere.

Does anyone know if this color has been discontinued. or if there might be a suitable replacement for it.... or if there is a multi-part color combination to replace it? This currently has me stumped.

Best guess for a mixed color is Verdigris or Hellblau/Hellgrau with duck egg blue. Heck its been so long though Verdigris may be discontinued too.


The other two colors are
International Green Polly Scale(main)
British Crimson Testors (Tertiary)
She'll be a butte when finished.
I build starships. So, Sue me...

Thanks Kylwell!

It appears that the color is OOP. I placed an order but I'm not sure how much stock they still have. I'll find out soon enough!
