Revell HMCS Snowberry

Post by martinfbrown »

Hi,
Does anyone know exactly what shade of grey the deck fittings/superstructure would be on this model. The insructions give a mix of 70% matt white(5) and 30% matt grey(57) numbers refer to Revell paints. What is the correct Humbrol colour. I have the camo painted on the hull of the model. Thanks
Martin

Decks were painted MS.2, which we have accurately matched in our Colourcoats enamels. No idea what the Humbrol equivalent is.

Hi,
I have the deck colour sorted. It was the colour of the superstructure and deck fittings. In the instructions they are marked as `F` which is:70% matt white(5) and 30% matt grey(57) Numbers refer to revell colours. This would be a very light grey. Is there not a colour that is correct without having to mix.I have a humbrol and a revell colour chart, the closest i can see with humbrol is:28-camouflage grey, or 147 light grey. I think possibly that the 147 light grey would be the nearest, but it still looks a little darker. The closest in the revell paints i think would be 32176 light grey. I cannot seem to get the correct colour.
