woody123 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hello, I bought a second hand example from Kingkit last year and I'm geared up to build it but can't seem to find the colours called out on the instruction booklet.I'm proposing to build the 45 Year anniversary SAR scheme and the Revell colours seem to be no longer in production,at least in enamels.Does anyone know which Humbrol or Tamiya colours are correct for the camo scheme,or indeed which of Revell's acrylics are correct as these are the only Revell paints stocked by my local model shop,although I'm not overly enamoured with these. Here's hoping someone in the Britmodeller world has the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 All the Revell colours mentioned in the instructions are still availlable, both in enamel and acrylic. The numbers are the same for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody123 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Thanks for the fast replies,I knew the answer would be here.Unfortunately Hannants aren't showing any Revell paints at the moment and my local model shop only has a small range of acrylics,these not included,so it's the old Google for me.Thanks again fellas.

Mart Thanks Mart.My local Hobbycraft seems to be drastically reducing the floor space it gives to model kits and accessories.They seem to have ditched Revell enamels and cut the range of Revell acrylics and Humbrol paints of both types drastically.Many thanks to the other members who've waded in to answer my question. I'm awaiting a package of the correct Revell enamels from E Models along with a set of the new Masterbox gas masked WW1 British Infantry,just to justify the postage outlay of course..It's a shame that we seem to be becoming more and more forced to use the internet and mail order as it's not the same as raking about in a real model shop ,picking up odds and ends you didn't know you needed.
