Vallejo Model Air - British Infantry 1944 Northern Europe

[BIG X]

Hello - I hope you good AFV folk can help me out - again...

I will shortly have a tank commander and some truck and halftrack drivers to paint in 1/72.  They are British / Northern Europe / 1944 - market garden type stuff...

I am looking for help with basic uniform / helmet / beret colours.  I use Vallejo Model Air - but I do have conversion charts for...

 

Humbrol

Gunze

Gunze Mr Colour

Tamiya XF

Testors

 

Can anyone throw a few colour numbers this way please.

 

Thanks in advance - Steve

I use Vallejo Model Colour 70.921 English Uniform. Sometimes mixed 50/50 with 70.873 US Field Drab to give some variation.

According to Vallejo's comparison chart Tamiya XF52, Revell 87 and Humbrol 29 are equivalent/similar

Thanks Tom - I'll go and have a look at my charts.  I have to say it is really bizarre that Vallejo don't do any comparison charts BETWEEN THEIR OWN RANGES - model colour to model air etc - muppets

They do as it happens, I think this is what you're after

Humbrol would have gone 26 with 29 for shading.

In fact, my favourite 20mm Figures SHQ suggest
