Fordson Tractor Blue

[Shortstuff]

Hi everyone,
I am currently building a farm diorama for my layout and I have acquired a nice 3d printed model of an old Fordson tractor that I would now like to paint. The official colour is Fordson/Empire blue but I am struggling to find an equivalent in Vallejo, Tamiya etc.
I was wondering if any of you good people would know of a suitable/passable model paint that is readily available?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Sorry Shortstuff I cannot help with the paint, but where did you find the 3D print of the tractor?

For colour look at either a French army blue or Prussian blue. Alternatively take a mid blue and mix something to match by comparing with online photos - there are plenty available.

Yes, that's the one I've got.

Mine is O gauge and pretty small and very detailed.

This is how my tractor has ended up.

Thanks BM.Farm wouldn’t be a farm without a rusty tractor.
