Recreating Humbrol enamel 115 Russian Blue?

Post by CementNotGlue »

Any tips on mixing colours to match this deleted colour are very welcome.

It's for the underside of a Mig-17 jet. If you're not too sure what I'm on about, this might help:

Thanks in anticipation

All models are equal. Some models are more equal than others.

The site you linked to has advice on a mix

quote:
A-18f is similar to 115 (that is called Russian Blue); a better match is given by a mix, 50% 115 and 50% 65. If 115 is unavailable (out of catalogue) try with 2/3 87 and 1/3 65

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