I used 118 for tan, 116 for mid green and 66 for the very dark green

H 28 grey is colour matched for the underneath grey
128 is too dark

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

The ultimate model paint conversion chart is a free online resource that's very handy for converting manufacturers paint recommendations into your paint brand of choice. It works like a cost calculator in that you pre select your brand preferences then punch in a relevant reference number.

Fred, I think you've got those colours spot on. I am making a note of those Humbrol numbers for future reference.
