Accurate paint for Revell '37 Ford pickup

I recently purchased a Revell '37 Ford pickup. The 2-in-1 kit with a blue version and a cream version. I really like the cream version, however I am having a hard time locating a paint that matches the box photo. Revell just calls it “Glossy Cream”, even though it looks like it has more yellow in it.

Has anyone found a suitable matching paint for this truck?

Thanks,

If you want to stay with Testor MM paint, they do make a color called Light Ivory #2709 that is a close resemblence to cream, and they also make a color called Cream #1116 in the standard testors line. If you want factory correct I suggest Model Car World http://www.mcwautomotivefinishes.com/ .

Mix your own. Add some yellow to cream and see what you get.

Thanks guys. I have an email out to Model Car World.

I’ll have to give the hand-mix option a try I guess…not too good at it though.

I use a paint from Model Master called Radome tan #4722. I think it looks creamy, but thats my opinion.

After a bit of searching I finally found what might be what I’m looking for. Testor’s makes a color called “Phoenician Yellow” which is a lightly yellow tinted cream color. Unfortunately, it’s in a rattle can…so next thing to do is try and decant it.

Thanks for your help. If this doesn’t work out, I’ll check out the “radome tan”.
