Hi everyone,

I'm seeing testors has discontinued their paints, and they had the exact match to the Atlantis green color. Does anyone know any alternative touch-up paint options? Thanks!

I posted this question to a model airplane forum and the exact match suggestion was Gunze 391 (Mr. Color Interior Turquoise Green).
If I get any other suggestions I’ll update.

ModelMaster 2135 Interior Blue Green is, as others have noted, known as “Soviet Military Interior.” Here are some equivalents/options but I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the color match:

XtraColor X629: Soviet Interior Blue/Green (enamel)

Gunze Sangyo Mr. Color C391: Interior Turquoise Green Soviet (enamel, Liz found it first!)

MRP-001: Russian Cockpit Turquoise (acrylic lacquer)

AK Interactive AKI RC206 (lacquer)

Yea! Mr Color 391 is the closest recommend I got from the Rivendellicious (sic) Facebook group, when I asked over there. I ordered some and will report back when I get it!

Y'all, I don't think that's entirely true. RPM has taken a hatchet to that great little brand but most Hobby Lobby stores still sell a greatly reduced inventory.

At one time TESTORS was once among the most recognizable logos / brands in the world. Synonymous with 'glue'. Atlantis was Russian Interior Green, and years ago Grant had intentions to match all of his frame colors to a similar TESTORS color so that he could redirect these questions. Good idea, tho it didn't have great legs.

If you're of a mind to, you can usually mix colors to create a reasonable match for most any frame. Metallics are a bit more challenging, but oftentimes close-enough does the trick.
