discussion Humbrol Brunswick green is ""%****@!!

[Guest]

I like Humbrol. I've used the stuff since I started making models 60 odd years ago, but this!

I wish to register a complaint!
Humbrol brunswick green, I accuse you of being a damned nuisance! 3 coats and still transparent!!

'Though I've shaken you and stirred you,
By the Gods I don't deserve you,
You're a thinner paint than normal, Humbrol Green'
(apologise to Kipling).

Really stupidly lacking in pigment. Is it me or is all brunswick green like this?

Check your tin for a small union jack that will indicate that its British made as some paint was farmed out to China as I have had no issues with mine or maybe its a bad batch.
As a number of years ago I had some British made red gloss paint that turned out to be maroon.
I have had no issues with humbrol gloss recently so you could have a dodgy batch

sadly not...union jack all present and correct. Prior to a return to maker, I'm going to shake it and stir it again...for about 10 mins
