I picked up a very old Heller fire truck from a model show and was looking at the instructions which list several colors by number only. Heller included a list of the 9000's numbers but nothing for the 7000's. I have been searching the internet but can't find anything on these:


7005, 7008, 7061, and 7010

Thanks in advance for any help!

I just found that the first two links are dead so go to TAROK's link. It will show you what Heller paints are to Humbrol (Who owned Heller for a while.) and then you can cross index Humbrol here: http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff_eng_colorcharts_humbrol.htm .

Until then here is Heller to Humbrol :

7005 Hu:34 Flat White
7006 Hu:104 Matt Oxford Blue
7010 Hu:33 Black
7016 Hu:98 Chocolate
7061 Hu:76 Uniform Green
