[:(!] could somebody please tell me what is the closest colour match to rlm 75 when using humbrol paints. Certain paint charts show humbrol 140 matt gull grey but this looks too light to me, I dont want to start mixing paints together but just want a good colour match. Ive heard the paint needs to be lighter as the scale gets smaller. I am presently building a 1/48 messerschmitt 109 g6
I think you have to make a mix… see below: http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff_eng_colorcharts_germany.htm another option is to use the Model Master’s RLM 75 Grauviolett, but it is semi-gloss… hope this helps.
Check out www.hannants.co.uk they have their own range of enamels in RLM colours. I’ve just started using them and they are just as good as the Humbrol paints if not better.
Hope this helps,
Darren.
