Hi All,
I have a Matchbox 1:72 A-7D to build in what I assume is USAF SEA scheme. What colours should I use Humbrol wise? The instructions give the colours with the old Humbrol Authentic Range numbers:
HU.7 - Green (dark)
HU.8 - Green (mid)
HU.9 - Tan
HU.10 - Grey
Any ideas? I'd rather stick to Humbrol if possible.
Regards
Stuart

HU 7 - H116
HU 8 - H117
HU 9 - H118
HU 10 - H175
However, H175 is discontinued. This is the shade if you can match it.

Vallejo Model colour 883 Silvergrey is a pretty good match.

As usual in case of colour trouble, IPMS Stockholm to the rescue: http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorchart ... rts_us.htmSir T wrote:I have a Matchbox 1:72 A-7D to build in what I assume is USAF SEA scheme.

The pattern you're looking for is at the very top, TAC standard.
In summary, you want Humbrol 28, 116, 117, 118
