Harry_the_Spider Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I’ve about to start spraying my Victor and have concerns about the Humbrol acrylic hemp. I’ve brush painted the intakes and, in my opinion, it is pretty poor compared to the Tamiya paints that I’m used to. Does it spray OK, or should I be looking for an alternative?

bentwaters81tfw Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 If you are happy to use an aerosol, you have 2 options. In acrylic, Riolett UK will make up an exact match for you in gloss, satin or matt. In enamel, Halfords camouflage Khaki (in the blue tins) but that is matt only.

Space Ranger Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 If it helps, here's the formula for Hemp (BS 4800/10B21) from the Humbrol Colour Sstem manual (enamel only): 44 parts No. 34 (Matt White) 32 parts No. 94 (Matt Brown Yellow) 6 parts No. 109 (Matt WWI Blue 3 parts No. 186 (Matt Brown) Overcoat with Clear Satin when dry.

Of course you do, and my apologies for not mentioning it! The original poster mentioned Humbrol, and I just happened to have my Humbrol Colour System manual lying in front of me. I have about three dozen tins of Colourcoats in various colors, all good. Hemp is also available as Xtracolor X016 and Xtracrylic XA1016. And Hemp is available from Humbrol as an enamel; it's No. 168. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Check Tamiya Buff against the Humbrol 168, they used to be very close in colour but its a while since I did any comparisons. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
