Mixing Royal Navy Paints
My thanks to Dimitrios Apostolopoulos for originally compiling the Humbrol list, Chris Langtree for some other Humbrol suggestions, inset, and Michael Eisenstadt for the Polly Scale list. I shall be amending/adding to it from time to time (and may even add some that aren't RN, if there is a demand), so look back now & again. I know I've a description of what colours go where on ancillary equipment, but I'll have to find it first!

Note that some of these Humbrol colours may be hard to obtain, as several
are now dis-continued.
Please note that while you can mix Polly Scale and Aeromaster colours together,
you cannot mix the
Modelmaster Acryl series with any other acrylics.
If you have good formulas for paint schemes, why not share it
through these pages?
Either ones to fill in the gaps above, or for other Navies.
Mail them in to us , and we will include them here.
