Re: Monty’s Humber
That’s my worry. I’m hoping Gunze H320 Dark Green is a match or at least a close match. I’ve got a few other brands on standby just in case.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Wed Nov 02, 2022 2:27 pm I hate when that happens!

Re: Monty’s Humber
Made a trip to Walt’s HobbyWorld in Syracuse today. He didn’t have any Gunze/Mr.Hobby paints which kind of surprised me. I went in hoping to find AK Interactive Real Colors. They didn’t even carry those line of paint. They did have Tamiya lacquers and acrylics, Vallejo Model Colors (very little stock) and Model Air, Revell acrylics, Gunze Gundam colors, and Citadel Wargaming colors.
Armed with the empty Gunze H320 Dark Green to eyeball as close as possible. Aside from Vallejo Model Air RAF Azure Blue, I settled on Tamiya XF-73 Dark Green/JGSDF and Revell 32167 Greenish Grey(RAL 7009) or as labeled on display rack - Dark Green.
When I got home, I did a swatch comparison between the Tamiya and Revell to the Gunze H320 Dark Green. Both looks to be a very close match to the Gunze shade.

Re: Monty’s Humber
Nope. Neither color is even close. Looks like I’m gonna have to order Gunze H320 Dark Green 
Both color scheme are too dark or drab. I mean, I “could” get away with using Tamiya XF-73. I don’t know. It’s not green enough to my liking. Maybe I should have also grabbed Revell 32165 Bronze Green when I had the chance. Oh well....

Re: Monty’s Humber
Why not repaint the whole upper body and wheels in one of the new colors?

Re: Monty’s Humber
Cool build. I like the light skinned vehicles as it makes the armor more interesting. I've been adding more stuff like this to the stash of late. Glad to see I am not alone in enjoying some of the rigs that get very little love. Keep it going.

I’d love to keep going but the rear windshield framework broke on me. I’ve sent Airfix an email for replacement parts and have yet heard or received them.
