      Model Master to Humbrol

      Hi!

      I try to ask answer at my question on Pienoismallit.net but I don't get a answer. So, now I asking on you guys. What color of Humbrol paints equivalent to Model Masters paint in 2106? The Finnish side, could never help, but I got the hint to go to get the right shades of Humbrol shades Hu116, Hu88 and Hu159. Osuvatko how those close to the correct tone. Working on the Zvezda MiG-21BIS by Finnish insignia and Model Master codes need to change the Humbrol or Revell.

      Go to this site and add it to your book marks or favorits in your explorer:

      http://www.paint4models.com

      Its simple to use; even I can figure it out. You can convert most of the common paints in it-
      Model Masters go under the name Testors.

      Hey scalemod,

      I was going to suggest - The Ultimate Model Paint Conversion Chart - too.

      But if you try Britmodeller, there is a thread with info about Mig 21's including a Finnish one

      Sorry I can't be more help.

      well the mark one eyeball says its not far off >Vallejo Reflective Green. that converts to....Humbrol 102 BUT the big problem with LED moniters is the colour chances depending how you look at the screen!
      I would say have a look and see what you think.
      I have both as paint and they match quite well. Remember all is relative. Paint fades and losses colour, so as long as its close you will be fine.
      I have learnt that being a colour "rivet counter" is a long and winding path to no where!!!

      Ain't that the truth.

      As long as you're happy with the finished result, thats the best anyone can hope for in this game

      Do your best.

      I found that you can go quite mad trying to find the perfect match. Lets face it once an object has been painted and then driven, ridden, flown or sailed the paint is already affected by the enviroment.
      The Only thing that I go to any real length with these days are Ships.

      It is good to be in the ball park, so to speak but as long as it looks right it is right.
