Polish1 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I am trying to locate the RAF Hemp color in an enamel. Any suggestions? Thanks! Humbrol 168 is identified as Hemp, but I don't know if it is RAF Hemp. I'm not sure if it still exists since Humbrol has changeds hand & numbers so many times. Dick D.

karlwb Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 As state, Xtracolor do an enamel RAF Hemp, but also I'd heard there were plans for Humbrol to re-release their RAF Hemp to coincide with the release of the Airfix Nimrod. I don't know if Hornby/Airfix are still planning to do the same. Karl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobski Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I've been told by Hannants that Humbrol are NOT re-releasing the Hemp colour for the Airfix Nimrod, so Xtracolour is probably the way forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Clark Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I've been told by Hannants that Humbrol are NOT re-releasing the Hemp colour for the Airfix Nimrod, so Xtracolour is probably the way forward. Interestingly though "Hemp" HAS been included in Humbrol's new range of Acrylic paints (as 168). If Hannants are correct then this could be quite significant regarding the stories about the forthcoming demise of enamels .......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedHeadKevin Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Isn't "Hemp" color the same as "Reefer White?" ba dum chhhh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PRU Blue is also supposed to be released in Humbrol acrylic but not enamel. This could be a sign that they are looking at the demise of enamel, could also be a clever marketing ploy - if you want to use these colours you need to buy our new acrylics. Just a thought and probably not true at all. I would like to know from some official source about the VOC/enamel ban/regulations that are supposed to be just around the corner - as a big enamel user I'd really like to know.

jrallman Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 White Ensign Models has Hemp and Anti-Flash White in their RAF/FAA color line, but they are limited run, so snag them quick before they go. WEM paints are enamels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
