HansReggelsen Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've hit a bit of a snag here. I'm currently building Dragon's 1/35 Conqueror and here's my problem: The instructions tell you to mix Gunze Sangyo 73 70% + 6 30% which should translate into Humbrol: 70% 30 Matt Dark Green + 30% 3 Gloss Brunswick Green Now Humbrol "The Colour System" tell you that Post War British Army used Deep Bronze Green made by mixing Humbrol: 3 Gloss Brunswick Green: 43 parts + 80 Matt Grass Green: 15 parts + 60 Matt Scarlet: 14 parts What should I use? Cheers and thanks in advance Hans J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 How about buying Deep Bronze Green from Xtracolour or Colourcoats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hi Graham Thanks for the idea - living in Denmark means those colours are not readily available Maybe I could send for them, but I seem to rembemer that some years ago one couldn't buy stuff as paints and glue overseas as they were considered hazardous goods. I don't know if that's still the case, but anyway I feel more comfortable with Humbrol - a paint I've been using since I was but a wee lad!

HansReggelsen Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks, Panzer Vor - Revell paints can be found just south of the border - a great excuse for a little trip to Flensburg, Germany - only two hours drive from here!
