Nato green for Leopard 2A6 - Humbrol ??

Post by windpower »

Hi Guys

I'm looking (in vain so far) for a decent match for tamiya nato green but in humbrol colours.Ive always been a staunch brush painter and I'm not in to airbrushes at all. Humbrol 105 is close(ish) but I'm wondering if there is a better alternative ?
If anybody has any info or ideas on this one then I would be very grateful.

many thanks

Mark

Hi, you can brush the Tamiya XF pots if you want, or they do the spray cans, but that works out expensive compared to air brushing.

On the humbrol web site there is a conversion facility - I just entered x49 Tamiya nato green and it said there is no matching Humbrol colour.
Not much help really. :thumbdown:
