Question for Subsim Scale Modelers

TLAM Strike · 01-20-11, 11:17 PM

Its been a very long time since I built any models (like 10 years) but I decided to build a couple, mostly as a decoration for my computer desk. I just ordered them, they are the Doyusha 1/700 scale Kilo SSK and Akula SSN models. I purposely chose the small ones since I don't want them becoming clutter, and they will fit nicely on top of my computer tower or monitor.

Now my question is what paints should I use? Specifically for the (red) anti fouling below the waterline and the props. I have a spray can of flat black enamel paint from Home Depot (It was let over from another project), should I use that for the hull as a base color or use something else?

BTW I don't have an airbrush and don't plan on buying one.
