About this deal

On the subject of PC.10, this from 'Fighters 1914-19', Kenneth Munson, Blandford 1976, pp. 181-186, an appendix written by By Ian D. Huntley, A. M.R.Ae.S. fred wrote:Humbrol 116 Dark green for PC10 on all upper surfaces, perhaps Humbrol 74, or 103 for under surfaces. Under fuselage was usually same green as top and sides. Thats for RAF/ USAS in France. Later USAS machines tended to have 'chrome yellow' wings.

RLM 76 - 40% Humbrol 65 and 50% Humbrol 28 and 10% white. Mostbrands of 76 have far too much 'blue' in them. Under certain lighting conditions RLM 76 was very bland.. late war - defensive 'greens' 81/82/83, usually over 76, often incombination with some of the greys. Usage: A water-based, fast dry paint developed for use on plastic model kits but which can also be used on other surfaces. H74 Matt Linen is much too yellow/creamy and H71 Satin Oak is about right. However, I don't like using Satin colours much and prefer to use H103 Matt Cream as you can see on this HMS Hood: If you look at Tamiya’s Rodney and Nelson they look quite different, and with lots of details not in the Airfix kit.But since I don’t know if the real surface was wood or another material, I don’t really have a choice. The photo of the Halb.D.II is covered with bleached linen fabric. The term canvas applies to fabrics which weigh more than 8 oz./sq.yard. Aircraft fabrics weighed in the range of 3.5 to 4.5 oz./sq.yd. you need to see the book by Alan Raven and John Roberts- Man O' War 3 Battleships Rodney and Nelson.

There is no "scale" as such to the decals. The weave pattern is so subtle, but noticeable, that it will work well in any scale. Aviattic have just released (or are just about to) decals of clear doped linen! Light and dark German, British, French, plus PC10 and 12 with the weave pattern of the fabric evident! Dimensions Embroidery, Easymodel, EK Success Tools, Eurographcs, D-Toys, Eduard, Gluelines, Heller, I've had sample sheets of these - and the differences between British CDL, German linens and French are noticeable. Its beautifully subtle stuff too.It gives full camouflage etc and lots of photos from which you can distinguish the two ships from each other and also the various alterations. The text also gives good coverage of the ship's career and specifications. These new Acrylic Dropper Bottles enable easier colour blending using the bespoke Humbrol Paint Palette (AG5111).

Don't get too hung up on the finer points, just build it as you see fit. There's probably very few people who have accurately modelled RFC rigging and lived to tell the tale. http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php? op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=2898 UK Importers ,wholesalers and distributors of plastic model kits, jisaw puzzles, board games, embroidery, paints, tools and glues. Can someone tell Me what the item numbers might be for Tamiya and Humbrol RLM 74 and 75 if they even carry those German colors? The important thing to remember about mixing RAF Dark Earth based on XF-52, is that when you add Flat White to the mix, the red tones in the XF-52 tend to make the color shift to pink. This can be balanced by mixing in some more XF-3 Flat Yellow.FAA Extra Dark Sea Grey:- To 50 parts of XF24 (dark grey), add 6 parts XF2 (white), and 3 parts XF8 (flat blue). RLM 76 - 50% Humbrol 65 and 50% Humbrol 28 , increase the proportion of 65 if you want a bluer version In the chart below, the annotation with colour name in red means that the corresponding paint number had been available in the traditional range of Humbrol enamels, but not in the Super Enamel range.

if you don't want to buy a load of new paint, there are TLAR RAF and USAAF matches.... or, as you do Swedish, some of those can be used... how 'accurate' do you want to be? RLM 02 - Humbrol 31, although 31 is a bit too light and could probably use a touch of yellow or maybe something like 94 Brown Yellow . I can remember Ray Rimmel's article in Scale Models, years ago, discussing PC10, also his various WWI model articles. It seems that PC10 could be a dark green or a dark chocolate colour with an infinite number of shades in between. A lot would depend on how strictly the mix instructions were adhered to, but for observers the problem is that it is different colours in different light. I've been to flying evenings at Old Warden when they've had the Pup, Triplane, SE5a etc on display and you'd be pushed to nail the colour down. In late 1990s Humbrol has moved to the much improved Super Enamel range. The Super Enamel paints use the same colour numbers, but have refined formula with very small pigment more suitable for airbrush application. However, with the introduction of Super Enamel some of the old colours losted in this chart have been discontinued. The column Type indicates if it is available as acrylic (a) as well. All colours are matt unless noted in the colour name.I tend to use Humbrol enamels since they spray very nicely, are easily available at the local craft shop and don't clog the tip of the airbrush like acrylics can do. Having done a little research it is perfectly possible to come up with some reasonable 'RLM' equivalents - the table that follows won't provide a 100% 'match' of course but may be useful for those who don't fancy mixing up colours and/or purchasing more expensive and less easily available alternatives. And they are more than good enough for me -see the pics below of my 1:72nd scale Airfix Bf 109 E-4 and my Tamiya 1:48th scale Fw 190 A-3 below finished in Humbrol enamels. A google search will bring up other discussions andcomparison tests. The resultscome up broadly like this: Ed, that's a great comparison chart. Is it just me or do the Testor Model Master series appear to be the best matches here? Humbrol provides a Colour System Binder which contains instructions of how to interblend the paints of the Super Enamel range to obtain the discontinued shades as well as selected authentic colours. Probably because I don't do a lot of Luftwaffe, I find the correct colours harder to fathom than Sabre wings and quantum mechanics.
