Humbrol Colors

[imatt88]

Hey all,

 

Need a little help here..

 

I did some searching for Testor Model Master equivelants of Humbrol paints for my French 190..

 

I found the grey color so I'm good there, however,

 

Is there a match, or close match, for Humbrol 75 Matt Bronze Green from Testors? 

 

Thanks,

 

Cheers,   Ian

There is no direct equivalent listed,but Model Master RLM 70,71,72,73 cover the German "greeny drabby" colours

I believe Humbrol have started doing RLM colours, in the UK at least.

I've been told that its a close match to Japanese Navy Green, so I'll probably just go with that.

 

Thanks for the tips..

I have used Humbrol paints in the past.  I liked them and had no problem with them, but I hated pouring the paint out of those little tins, always made a mess

 

When I was stationed in England, I used to frequent a hobby shop in Oxford and I bought many Humbrol paints. 

 

When I came back to the States in '87, All my tins came with me, but alas, that was 30 years ago and all those paints are looong gone

My only complaint about Humbrol has more to do with my environment. My garage/work bench is currently unfinished, so in the summer I end up with a bunch of dried up tins. I may just start buying empty paint jars and start storing them in that to alleviate the dried sludge I invariably find when I need it most.
