Humbrol 183 is simply called "Grey". On the Paint X-Ref Guide cards given away by Model Airplane magazine some years ago, it appears similar to Humbrol 162 "Surface Grey". Both of these colours are claimed to be equivalent to ModelMaster 1730 and

PollyScale 505380. Looking over the cards, Humbrol 166 "Light Aircraft Grey" and 129 "Satin US Gull Grey" are also claimed to be equivalent to these ModelMaster and PollyScale colours.

The Gunze Sangyo equivalencies for these paints are different. Accoding to the cards, Humbrol 183 = Gunze Aqueous H51, Humbrol 166 = Gunze Aqueous H332/Mr Color C332, Humbrol 129 = Gunze Aqueous H325/Mr Color C325, and Humbroll 162

has no equivalents in the Gunze ranges. HTH!

40 pale grey used to be the Airfix match for the grey on RAF trainers in Red/White/Grey colour scheme

92 [discontinued] is Iron Grey. I have some and to me its just a pale grey; like zinc coated iron

183 as above
