I am looking for close matches to SCC colours, they don't have to be exact just consistent, so there is no color variations if I run out of one batch. DOA was one source, but I keep getting "down for maintenance" from their site. Are there any others that come close?

My family and friends will be the only views and they can't tell a Panther from a Sherman or a Churchill, let alone the correct shade of SCC2.

Humbrol 29 is a good starting point, I use their rattle cans.
