Benetton B195 and Tamiya paint codes

Hello!

I have bought the Academy Benetton B195 model.

It looks nice, but I am rather than troubling myself with decaling the nice livery, id like to mask and paint the blue color scheme.

So; What Tamiya mini spray paints would correspond to the three blue's of the model ?

I would check the Tamiya catalogue, but unfortunately, I do not have one :(

This is a great question. I have the same kit and I'm holding off on it until I find out the paints I'll need.

Same here :)

I finished the same kit about a month back and I used tamiya paints. Although the colors are not 100% accurate, I was very happy with the result. I was building the vesion based on a photo I saw on the official f1 site (picture here) (http://www.formula1.com/results/team/1995/) For the lightest color I used TS-23 Light Blue. And for the darkest color I used TS-15 Blue. For the medium color I just used the decals because there were only a few spots the needed it. You can find the finished pics here.

P.S I strongly recommend buying the Supplemental decals on f1specialties.com. They come with all the Mild Seven sponsorship decals plus a slew of other decals the make the kit more accurate. (Tire decals, 'Renaults' etc..)

Thanks!
l get those cans! :)
