Hey,

Does anyone know where I can find a colour chart for the humbrol enamel paint range? By colour chart I mean where they have a demo colour and its humbrol number together. I have Model Master's colour chart but really need humbrol's one.
Can you help?

Thanks and Seasons greetings,

Erik

he Erik

On this site is a humbrol paint chart http://www.modelsforsale.com/catalog/humbrolpaintchart.php

If you go to google and you type humbrol paint chart you get tons of paint charts.

Greetz Robster!

Erik, you can also have a look on the Airfix website (they own the rights to Humbrol. They have a sample chart there as well as names and numbers. Just remeber when using these demo samples that paints are different when printed or put to screen. I have an Airfix catalogue from a few years back with the Humbrol colour chart in and I can assure you that very few of the colours actually match the actual paint... In the case of Humbrol, the lid of the tin is always painted from the same batch as the paint inside the tin... or rather that's what I've been led to believe...

I picked mine up for free at my local hobby shop. It has little symbols next to each slide indicating weather it is also avaible (all the colours are avaible in 14ml tinlets) in 50ml paint, 120ml paint, 100ml areosol or 12ml adcrilic. On the back it has paint charts comparing Humbrol to:
Revell
R.A.L
Gunze Sangyo
B.S
Life Colour
Games Workshop
Tamiya
Testor
F.S

cheers

Erik
