My Bristol fighter painted with Misterkits paints PC-10, Battleship Grey and Clear Doped Linen all in the RFC/RAF range. :arrow: http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.o ... 0&start=40 In late 1990s Humbrol has moved to the much improved Super Enamel range. The Super Enamel paints use the same colour numbers, but have refined formula with very small pigment more suitable for airbrush application. However, with the introduction of Super Enamel some of the old colours losted in this chart have been discontinued. if you don't want to buy a load of new paint, there are TLAR RAF and USAAF matches.... or, as you do Swedish, some of those can be used... how 'accurate' do you want to be? Hi Shane - what Ian says is true. its more of a very very subtle texture than a "weave' pattern - its just adds some life to a flat single colour surface.

http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php? op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=2898 I can remember Ray Rimmel's article in Scale Models, years ago, discussing PC10, also his various WWI model articles. It seems that PC10 could be a dark green or a dark chocolate colour with an infinite number of shades in between. A lot would depend on how strictly the mix instructions were adhered to, but for observers the problem is that it is different colours in different light. I've been to flying evenings at Old Warden when they've had the Pup, Triplane, SE5a etc on display and you'd be pushed to nail the colour down. Substrate: A wide range of surfaces including most plastics, wood, glass, ceramics, metal, cardboard, sealed plaster, sealed hardboard and many more. The column Type indicates if it is available as acrylic (a) as well. All colours are matt unless noted in the colour name. you need to see the book by Alan Raven and John Roberts- Man O' War 3 Battleships Rodney and Nelson.I tend to use Humbrol enamels since they spray very nicely, are easily available at the local craft shop and don't clog the tip of the airbrush like acrylics can do. Having done a little research it is perfectly possible to come up with some reasonable 'RLM' equivalents - the table that follows won't provide a 100% 'match' of course but may be useful for those who don't fancy mixing up colours and/or purchasing more expensive and less easily available alternatives. And they are more than good enough for me -see the pics below of my 1:72nd scale Airfix Bf 109 E-4 and my Tamiya 1:48th scale Fw 190 A-3 below finished in Humbrol enamels. A google search will bring up other discussions andcomparison tests. The resultscome up broadly like this: JohnAh, my mistake, I was thinking of Hu 141 for 02, it was an almost perfect match. I've not been able to get 91 from my LMS for a while and so made the wrong assumption it was no longer made. Honestly? In 1/24 and larger scales I assume. Or is the next trend in modelling to return to the 1950s and engrave burlap weave on all flying surfaces? Humbrol provides a Colour System Binder which contains instructions of how to interblend the paints of the Super Enamel range to obtain the discontinued shades as well as selected authentic colours. late war - defensive 'greens' 81/82/83, usually over 76, often incombination with some of the greys.

Ed, that's a great comparison chart. Is it just me or do the Testor Model Master series appear to be the best matches here?FAA Extra Dark Sea Grey:- To 50 parts of XF24 (dark grey), add 6 parts XF2 (white), and 3 parts XF8 (flat blue). I've had sample sheets of these - and the differences between British CDL, German linens and French are noticeable. Its beautifully subtle stuff too. RLM 76 - 40% Humbrol 65 and 50% Humbrol 28 and 10% white. Mostbrands of 76 have far too much 'blue' in them. Under certain lighting conditions RLM 76 was very bland.. Aviattic have just released (or are just about to) decals of clear doped linen! Light and dark German, British, French, plus PC10 and 12 with the weave pattern of the fabric evident!

These new Acrylic Dropper Bottles enable easier colour blending using the bespoke Humbrol Paint Palette (AG5111). There is no "scale" as such to the decals. The weave pattern is so subtle, but noticeable, that it will work well in any scale. Perhaps. But IMO if it's visible at all in 1/72, or without a magnifier in 1/48, it will look daft. Dimensions Embroidery, Easymodel, EK Success Tools, Eurographcs, D-Toys, Eduard, Gluelines, Heller, RLM 02 - Humbrol 31, although 31 is a bit too light and could probably use a touch of yellow or maybe something like 94 Brown Yellow .

RLM 76 - 50% Humbrol 65 and 50% Humbrol 28 , increase the proportion of 65 if you want a bluer version It gives full camouflage etc and lots of photos from which you can distinguish the two ships from each other and also the various alterations. The text also gives good coverage of the ship's career and specifications. Urban's Colour Reference Charts, Humbrol vs Tamiya, Xtracolor, Polly S, Revell, Gunze Sangyo, Model Master
