The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

A very old Matchbox Skyraider,the colour scheme/guide missing.No idea of colours for the top,I think the bottom is h128.Help would be appreciated.

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

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.

Looking forward to it Celt.

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