I am working on a Republic Star Destroyer and I have seen images were it was painted with Testors Light Aircraft Gray spray. I have bought some but I would like to know a model master brush on Equivalent in case I make a mistake. Testor makes both so I figure they would have the same name, well they don't. I want water based model Master though.

They do have a light gray is that the same?

Thanks,
Jon

Model Master Stock #1731 is FS16473 Aircraft Gray, but there is no guarantee it will match your aerosol. There are "light" and "dark" aircraft grays in the standard aerosol line, so the FS16473 will probably match the light gray spray paint. You can decant some of the paint from your spray can into a small bottle and use that for brush touch-ups. Hope this helps:)

What's the product or FS number on the can?

Hmmm. None of the Testor paint lists show this color available in a bottle, which is odd since most of their basic color spray paints are available in bottles as well, with the exception of the spray metal flakes.

Looking at the can, it may be close to Light Ghost Gray, available in the Model Master line.
