Need some help here.

I don't know if this has been discussed or not, but could someone tell me what Tamiya acrylics I should use for the gray vertical surfaces vs. the deck gray of Spruance and Tico-class as well as other modern US ships? I followed the Tamiya New Jersey guideline of XF66: 3 + XF2: 1 for the vertical but it somehow didn't look right - too blue.

I don't want to experiment with Gunze even though the brand's reputed to be good. And acrylics are what I use exclusively.

Thanks for the hilfe.
