Help on Italeri paint Chromate

[LaurieS]

A long shot Starting a Italeri Chinook 1/48. It is an old kit and they list colours using Italeri Paint.

Sorted all but one which does not have an FS number and has been dropped from their present colours..

 

It is named as Chromate. They list the old number as ITA MM 1584  and in Acrylic ITA MM 4683.

Can any one help please. Send you a kiss if you can.

Sounds to me like zinc chromate primer.  It appears to be yellow in which case you're probably looking at Tamiya XF4 or Humbrol 81. I believe the nearest FS reference is FS33481.

Yes that was my guess Joseph. I was a little distracted as I found a colour called green chromate.

Thanks Joseph for your time. I think I will stick with the yellow.

The ‘MM’ in your description would suggest ‘Model Master’ paint by Testors

TESTORS - 4683 Model Master Chrome Yellow FS13538

 

I’m guessing that Italeri are using the Testors range of paint and rebranding it?
