Humbrol Conversion Charts
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about "what Humbrol paint is what
<insert your favourite> paint". Well, to assist you work these things
out, I have put below Humbrol's own charts. If you try some and you think that
they are wrong, please tell me, and I shall flag it here. Also, if you have
any suggestions to fill out the blanks, we'd love to hear them.
