stevehnz Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 This chart gives some close(ish) matches for those you can't get, 183 has obviously been OOP for some time as these charts are not that recent (revised 2006) Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachnid Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks lads,I think that 183 is some sort of USA WW 2 aircraft colour,once again thanks for your time and help 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 No.183 is FS 16440. If you don't mind a satin finish you can always use No.129 (FS 26440 Light Gull Grey) instead. Cheers, Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer54 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 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.

Black Knight Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
