Hi;

    What I need help with is simple . I do NOT have ANY HUMBROL paints . The A/C I am building is by Airfix. The color callouts are all Humbrol colors . Can someone please leave me a message matching these numbers to Model Master colors .They are  as follows .

19 this is column one . Column two is as follows. 104

24                                                                                      123

33                                                                                      135

I am doing my first British Plane  ( fighter ) in over forty years and I want it to come out right .This is a FR-47 with the Fleet Air Arm , No.800 Naval air squadron - H.M.S.Triumph -  Korean War theater , June 1950 , I am even going to figure out how to make the wings be extended instead of folded . It's just such a good looking  SEAFIRE . I want to thank you in advance .                                                             .Tanker - Builder

I know Humbrol 90 is Beige Green and the closest color I see is Duck Egg Blue. Depending on the aircraft you're doing, you can also use Model Master 4840 RAF Sky "Type S" ANA 610 or Tamiya XF-21.

(Model Master Duck Egg Blue is 4748)

Black Sheep 214 ;

   I want you to know that the odd colors like " Antique Bronze " is a color I have . Remember I specialize in ship models of all eras . So , as a result I have a LOT of custom mixes . That's one that's most important on old screws and brass parts on say , a tugboat ! I even have one called " Salt Scrubbed Bronze "  which has a lot of silver and a little bit of green in it ! Thanks Again and I am still working on the picture thing . I want to share so bad it hurts !     Tanker - Builder
