Colour converting tables
A little about paintings
Every manufacturer of a model is
linked to a model paint manufacturer. On the directions for use, and sometimes
even on the model box, you can see which painting you should use.
If you want to follow what says on
the directions for use and the model box, you should have Tamiya colours to
Tamiya models, Revell colours to Revell
models, Humbrol colours to Airfix models and so on. But you don’t buy all
models from the same manufacturer, and you can’t have all sorts of colour at
home. That’s why you can use colour converting tables, so you can converting colours from one colour manufacturer to another.
You can find some colours in the toy
stores who are selling models. Other colours you can only get from hobby
stores.
The colour converting tables is only
from Tamiya and Revell to Humbrol. Some Humbrol
colours is marked by a star, this means you must have a layer of Humbrol clear
enamel to be exactly as correspondence Tamiya and Revell
colour.
