I wonder which Humbrol colours best represent Tamiya colours XF-67 to 69?

Thanks in advance.

Thomas,
I have no idea about Humbrol, but if you can find Testors Model Master enamels, Medium Green, Field Drab, and Flat Balck work great. The Medium green and field drab already give it the faded look that CARC paint quickly gets.

Sorry, only Humbrol or Tamiya, and I'm affraid that I'm not a great fan of Tamiyas paint, at least when it comes to painting larger surfaces, like a tank.

Hej Thomas
Do you live in/near Stockholm!
Wentzels have a free sheet on the counter that you can pick up where they take all the main types of paints (tamiya, model master, etc.) and give the humbrol equivelent. If you can get this your self.... OK, but if not maybe I can post it to you or maybe even get it scanned and post it here for everyone. Let me know.
