Hi there all,
Well I'm still on the modelling wagon and took out my Type VIID to have look over and I immediately came across a problem. Too many greys.... Tower deck, main deck, and 3 for the hull sides alone....
Revell list all sorts of greys under various names but a lot of them involve mixing! Does anyone have a "general" list of colours they used on their type VII hopefully translated or translatable into Humbrol/tamiya/Vallejo paints?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Bit of a useless post from me Stuart I'm afraid. I have the same dilemma with my Revell 1/144 Type VII D Minelayer.
Perhaps now your thread is back to the top someone might have the answer to our problem!lol
If I come up with anything I'll post up on here.

It's the same one I've got Ron, maybe we can do a side by side build once we have our mutually required informationlol
So this is bumped back to the top again heehehehehehehe!!!

Bit of a start Stuart.
The highlighted colours in the instructions are obviously Revell paints, so I have managed to find the equivelant in Humbrol:
These are all the greys.
1st numbers Revell, 2nd Humbrol...
57=87
69=77
77=79
09=32
74=125
76=141.........I can't help with Vallejo paints as although I use them, I only brush paint with Vallejo Model Colour and I presume you use an A/B?
I will keep looking and let you know if I find any more info.

Yeah I will be using AB for this one ron.
I'll just grab the instruction shee and pencil them over. I take it you used the "Ultimate" conversion chart? Might go try to get Tamiya numbers from there using above...
R57 H87 T XF25
R69 H77
R77 H79
R09 H32 (LIFECOLOR 72 RLM 74)
R74 H125 T XF24 (LIFECOLOR 22)
R76 H141 T XF20 (LIFECOLOR 113)
It's a start

Or you could use these The big problem is figuring out which is which. The good news is that they paint really well both with an Airbrush ans a Hairbrush!
Its what I will be using on mine.

Thank you Roman for your help getting the colours we need.
I knew you would let us know what you used for your wonderful U.Boat models.
Thanks again,
Ron
