Paint Conversion Site: Humbrol to Other Makes


This site was of great help identifying other paint manufacturers matching to Humbrol colours from Airfix kits (see below, as there is nothing more frustrating as chasing and having duplicate colours in different ranges):

This helped me greatly with two recent projects (the RAAF Boomerang and Luftwaffe Fiesler Storch from the Airfix Vintage releases).

Note to Self: Model Shade - Colour Conversion Charts (Web Site)

https://www.modelshade.com

Useful in that "what colour do I use now to get as near as damn it match"

Apparently: Airfix/Humbrol Acrylic 90 (Matt Green Beige approx Sky) is equivalent to Revell Water Acrylic 361 - 59 (Matt Sky [Himmelblau])


Needed in the "life and death situation" [not, but nevertheless important to me] of what to paint my Bristol Blenheim Mk.1F in RAF 1940 "Daylight Operations" colours in the Battle of Britain.
