Well, just about finished my last tin of 20 year old, Humbrol 8th Army Desert Yellow HM1.
Does anyone know of a decent replacement color. Doesn't have to be Humbrol since they aren't too easy to pick up here.
But probably could mail order from Squadron, but would need the new number.
Would prefer an enamel.

According to IPMS Stockholm the Humbrol equivalent is 93.
