Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a Humbrol Paint that would be a substitute for the following Tamiya paints. XF21 Sky and XF57 Buff. I prefer to work with Humbrol but Revell or Testors would also be a help. I also prefer Enamels. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there

A Humbrol chart suggests H83 & H90.

These links are good for Humbrol matches...
