No expert but I have seen them modelled in blue, red and green… last one I did I finished in tamiya clear blue.

And welcome to the forums Tom …and some one here will have the firm answer though …

What was your base color before you applied the clear blue?
Thanks,
Tom

I just went it straight in over the primer grey I used … a rattle can from Halfords. I did a couple of thin coats and it came out fine.

I’ve seen several of them in person and they were all deep blue, the color of a Vicks Vape-O-Rub bottle.

I agree the green color in the picture I’ve posted looks a bit “flashy”…

Here’s a related thread from the old forum :
