Hi Shane - what Ian says is true. its more of a very very subtle texture than a "weave' pattern - its just adds some life to a flat single colour surface. Tamiya doesn't have anything in their bottled paint lines that match closely, except XF23 Light Blue, which is not that far off RLM 76 straight from the bottle. They do have three colors available in spray cans (their "Aircraft Spray" line) as acrylic lacquers that are "analogous": Tamiya are probably one the most commonly available lines of hobby paints in the US as they are usually carried by R/C hobby shops, and we all know Tamiya is a dominant force in the R/C business. UK Importers ,wholesalers and distributors of plastic model kits, jisaw puzzles, board games, embroidery, paints, tools and glues. I've had sample sheets of these - and the differences between British CDL, German linens and French are noticeable. Its beautifully subtle stuff too.RLM 76 - 50% Humbrol 65 and 50% Humbrol 28 , increase the proportion of 65 if you want a bluer version

fred wrote:Humbrol 116 Dark green for PC10 on all upper surfaces, perhaps Humbrol 74, or 103 for under surfaces. Under fuselage was usually same green as top and sides. Thats for RAF/ USAS in France. Later USAS machines tended to have 'chrome yellow' wings. late war - defensive 'greens' 81/82/83, usually over 76, often incombination with some of the greys. Humbrol provides a Colour System Binder which contains instructions of how to interblend the paints of the Super Enamel range to obtain the discontinued shades as well as selected authentic colours. The important thing to remember about mixing RAF Dark Earth based on XF-52, is that when you add Flat White to the mix, the red tones in the XF-52 tend to make the color shift to pink. This can be balanced by mixing in some more XF-3 Flat Yellow.RLM 02 - Humbrol 31, although 31 is a bit too light and could probably use a touch of yellow or maybe something like 94 Brown Yellow . Matt & Satin: 20-40 minutes touch dry and upto 24 hours for hard dry. Drying times will vary according to ambient temperature and humidity. Recoat: 6 hours minimum (preferably over night). Coverage The photo of the Halb.D.II is covered with bleached linen fabric. The term canvas applies to fabrics which weigh more than 8 oz./sq.yard. Aircraft fabrics weighed in the range of 3.5 to 4.5 oz./sq.yd.

Humbrol - Color range - Scalemates

In late 1990s Humbrol has moved to the much improved Super Enamel range. The Super Enamel paints use the same colour numbers, but have refined formula with very small pigment more suitable for airbrush application. However, with the introduction of Super Enamel some of the old colours losted in this chart have been discontinued. It gives full camouflage etc and lots of photos from which you can distinguish the two ships from each other and also the various alterations. The text also gives good coverage of the ship's career and specifications.

The column Type indicates if it is available as acrylic (a) as well. All colours are matt unless noted in the colour name. RLM 76 - 40% Humbrol 65 and 50% Humbrol 28 and 10% white. Mostbrands of 76 have far too much 'blue' in them. Under certain lighting conditions RLM 76 was very bland..
