Paint codes

Anonymous · November 2, 2005, 3:53pm

I was wondering if anyone has a chart with the Revell Paint codes along with the respective cross references such as Humbrol and model master. I found one such list based on the Humbrol paints, but not on the Revell paints. Could anyone steer me in the right direction?

That is the chart I came across. Unfortunately it is not based on the Revell codes. There are some in there, but not all. I am looking in particular for a chart that lists the Revell code number and color decription, then gives the corresponding “other” cross references. I am not sure if there even is one. Thanks for forwarding the link though…always a good reference.

What about Polly S colors? The first link has them, but doesn’t cross reference them. The second doesn’t even have them.

Since I have a list of tamiya colors I need, but my LHS only has Model Master and Polly S, and the Polly Scale paints are on sale this month ;D

The IPMS Stockholm site does show the cross reference for Polly S to the FS series

I also found this on the IPMS USA site

You need to write to Floquil directly at: Floquil - Polly S Color Corp. 206 Milvan Dr., Weston Ontario M9L 1Z9, Canada
They have chip charts for all their colors, but they also have a “Military Color Reference Guide” with chips of their Rail, Military, and Marine (Naval) enamels plus 17 supplemental chapters cross-referencing the colors.
This guide is in an 8 1/2 x 11" 3-hole loose-leaf format and useful IMHO - for about $30.00. The individual chip charts will probably be about $3.00 to $5.00 each. You might also write Aeromaster for their enamel chips - their paints are made by Floquil and are chemically identical - and their chips come on the same sized paper and can be punched to fit in the same binder as the Floquil. You will then have a cross-reference to well over 300 distinct colors.

Good luck!
