Humbrol paint mixing booklet


William Marshall

Recommended Posts

A number of year ago, Humbrol made a booklet showing all the colours and possible mixes to obtain certain shades. I need a scan/copy for research purposes as it is not available from the agent or any shop in my country. Also searched the internet - no luck!

Please make a scan available to me for research purposes if you have one!

Best regards

William

I think this is what you are looking for...............a bit dated now as it was a free insert in a popular magazine at that time, but does give many alternatives to rival paint companies...................4 Inserts courtesy of Airfix tribute forum..............4 links, 4 colour charts

I have lots of other stuff to do so my time for everything related to our hobby is quite limited.

Nice to hear it worked. Just to compare - this is a German Humbrol colour chip chart from 1986 including the Historic Authentic range which sold for 2 DM: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1631577/Humbrol%20Archiv%201986.pdf

And this is the paint chart facsimile from the RAF colours 1939-1945 with the same scanner and same settings:

So maybe it is useful for cross checking.
