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!
