Colour blind bloke needs help
Posted by bodie37 on Tuesday, September 27, 2005 8:21 PM
Blush [:I] Guys

Before I make a complete mess out of my P-47 can I cross check something with you. I have a Revell Matt 66 to do the exteria and I crossed checked this paint on the Humbrol web site and I does say it's olive drab but man does it look grey, more like a dull grey. Can someone confirm this with me. It's hard for me sometimes to trust what I read when I have problems with colours.

Any help!!!!!!! Banged Head [banghead]

Bodie - that lists on the Revell color chart as Olive Grey... I think what you need is #361 and then flat coat it. I don't see a matt Olive green listed in Revell colors.. just a satin matt.... here's a listing of the Revell colors and you can see which ones might fit what you want...

good luck to you!!! if you have other brands available to you then maybe you can find it with them!

Your a life saver mate.

Will try and get hold of a Humbrol if I can. There some at my local store. The chart I've got on my pc is going straight into the bin. It SUCKS!!!!


Thanks again
