BIG X Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelholic Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 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 Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLC1966 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Humbrol would have gone 26 with 29 for shading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
