Hobbyboss Paints.

[Waspie]

Scoured the internet looking for conversion charts for Hobbyboss to Vallejo and have come up with Zilch.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

I didn’t know Hobbyboss did paint?

Re the colour, there is an H next to a box with a number on a white background next to a number on a black background!! I assumed the H was for Hobby boss. Now you say that I’m wondering if Humbrol or Mr Hobby?????
Life’s too complicated at the moment!!!!

It is, and the number with an H and/or in a light box is Mr. Aqueous; one with a C and/or in a blue or dark box is Mr. Hobby — you usually see them appear together like this:



This is important to know so you don’t accidentally get the wrong number, like above, because for a lot of colours —but not all — these ranges have different numbers even if the actual colour is the same.

Just like that.
Thank you too Jakko.

That is really useful. So much so, I screen-grabbed it for future reference. Thanks
