Humbrol 240 and 165 Vallejo equivalent- Spitfire PR.XIX

[Adam Poultney]

I just bought a 1/72 Airfix Spitfire PR.XIX, I can't find what a good Vallejo model ir equivalent would be to humbrol 165 and 230. Any ideas?

For 165 try Vallejo Model Color 70870 158 Medium Sea Grey

and for 230 there's Vallejo Model Air  71109 UK PRU Blue

Looking at what has been posted in the past, those colours are:

 

Medium Sea Grey

vallejo 71.307 or 71.049

 

PRU blue

vallejo 71.109

 

Can't vouch for how accurate they are, nor why they have two types of the bottled MSG (actually three if you count the one -71.047- they had in their first boxed set).  Probably go with the 71.307 since it's part of their latest box set.  The PRU Blue is the same serial paint # from the original boxed set and retains the exact number - I guess one of the few shades the public was satisfied with?  These are all ModelAir thinned ready for airbrush use.
