Hi, spurred on by the recent thread on old Humbrol paints, I've been trying to document the entire line of the long-defunct Compucolour/Compucolour II/DBI line of paints. What I have thus far has been complied from various adverts in old copies of Scale Aircraft Modelling magazine and what I actually have in the stash. There are significant gaps though. I have very few of the armour and railway colour designations and even fewer of the standard gloss and standard matt ranges. It appears that Compucolour used some of the old Gloy standard colours, but the numbering isn't consistent. Some numbers tie up with the Gloy designations and some don't. I was wondering if anyone here knows the full range of these paints and wouldn't mind sharing the info? I'm happy to post what info I have, so it would just be a case of adding to that. I'm thinking of doing the same for the Gloy ranges too, as I don't think there's a definitive reference for these either. Surely there's someone else out there sad enough to care? Best regards and thanks in advance, Mark. p.s. I've always been intrigued as to what caused the acrimonious split with Compucolour. It's really quite unusual and was a very slow-motion train wreck when it happened, back in the pre-web days!

I see five options: - re-release of kits with new decals like the freshly announced F-16C (link) - main contenders are: F-5A/B Freedom Fighter, E-2C Hawkeye (link), Mirage III, CM-170 Fouga & AMX; - new variants of existing kits with a limited number of new parts like Mirage III/5 or Kfir derivatives, single and two-seats MiRSIP, Milan, Nesher, Dagger, Finger, Cheetah etc.; - new variants of existing kits with several new parts like Harrier GR.1/GR.3 link, Grumman C-1 Trader & E-1 Tracer or S-2Ts Turbo (Fire) Tracker; - kits already announced and in the pipe line (see picture herebelow): 1/48th M-346 Master link, F/A-18D ATARS Hornet link (but also 1/72nd C-17 Globemaster link & 1/32nd F86F-30 Sabre link); - Brand new type(s). Then which one? That's the question. Dassault Mirage F-1 family? (Just to p. KH) Sukhoi Su-25 "Frogfoot" etc. All bets are off. Answer to the end of next week! V.P. Remember Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 Update - Nuremberg Toy Fair 2018 NEW Kinetic 2018 catalogue online: https://www.facebook.com/Kineticmodel/posts/921763957990716

Could not help but notice that apart from selling the magazine monthly Tesco now sell the 2018 catalogue in the newspaper stand. Could it be that kits are next? Hmmm
