Hi all
I've just been checking various colour reference sites to find the Humbrol equivalent of Dunkelgelb (dark yellow),now i've been using Humbrol no 84 (mid stone) but it seems that i'm wrong and i should be using Humbrol 93 (desert yellow) and as i wish to get my trumpeter Leopold looking right I wonder if anyone could put me on the right track?.
I use Humbrol because i get on well with it,I've tried tamiya but am never happy with the results.
TIA
Regards
Pete

I know Model Master makes a dead on Dunkelgelb. But you like Humbrol. If I were you, I would just try thr Desert Yellow on a piece that doesn't mean anything before the its put on the model. Test it first.

If that doesn't work, try Model Master. They are pretty good.
