discussion Humbrol again?

[Modler bob]

Hi guys.
I have decided to do my first model (Sea fire 1/48) with Humbrol enamels.
I used them for a few years modelling way back in time.
I realise now that Humbrol can (maybe) be bad for you, but I'll take that risk, at my age it probably won't mater ha ha.
And they appear to be reduced on flea bay and other sites.
So my question is....
Where do any of you using Humrol still, buy yours's from please?

Nearly all model shops stocked it. Revell have enamels in similar tinlets.

I've got around 80-90 tins of mixed Humbrol and Revell enamels - mostly unopened - which I'll never use. PM me if you'd be interested.

Bob,

Same as Gern (Dave) above, I have a lot of colours maybe opened once and a few never opened.
Might be an idea to post the colours that you require here ???

HTH,
Paul.

Thank you kindly Dave & Paul :hugging-face:
I'll check through the colours (numbers) I want and get back.

I don't suppose you can post the enamel tinlets over here can you?

Cheers,
Richard

Rick,

Richard is in Malaysia!!
Shipping "flammable" enamel paint is only carried out by a few companies and they are expensive!!

Royal Mail for U.K. is a no-no, Humbrol use DPD :smiling:

Up to 500g via DPD abroad cost around £20 !! :astonished:

Paul.

Hi Dave.
I do have a Revell 1/32 P47 D Thunderbolt which I have had for some time.
Unfortunately, it doesn't specify the colour numbers/codes
On the box, it looks dark green with a silver nose around the radial engine like this.........

If you know the colours, I'd be happy to relieve you of them?
