#1: Painting advice Author: karlmortar, Location: Falköping,SwedenPosted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 1:10 pm I don't know if this realy should be here in CC forum at all, but i need to ask.
Im about to paint my 1/72 scale WW2 British Paratroopers from Revell and Italeri.
But i don't know wich colours to use.
There is some paitning advice on the box, but they are from the wrong company.
Hawe searched for advice elswhere but can't find any.
I can only purchase Humberol colours ( only ones available in my town, to expansive else where )
So if there is any 1/72 scale figure painter out there, please help!
In case some one hear this call of dispair, please tell me the name and the nummer of the Humberol paint cans, and where on the soldier to aply the paint!

I cannot answer your question, however you may want to try the following site http://www.missing-lynx.com/. Your best bet is probably to go to the Discussion Groups page.
I also understand the Osprey recently released a new book on the subject of British and Canadian Paratroops.
Cheers

And yes, Osprey have released a bok concerning the matter.
But here in Sweden, its bloody hard geting a copy, and expansive!
Thanks again.

Let me know if you cannot find what you need, as my boss has a book with colour matching charts that may include the paint colour you need. We would need to know what paints the box refers to.
Cheers
