basic advice resin ship model needed

I have ISW's 1/350 Maine and Texas to build.



Any suggestions as to type of sandpaper and filler?



Are there any resonably accurate Victorian era paints out there for the buff and wartime Span Am war grey?

For filler try Evercoat polyester putty, Spies-Hecker Permacr>

and wartime Span Am war grey?

Wet/dry in various grades and 3M Acryl Blue (auto body filler/glaze)
