Revell 1/72 Lancaster : equivalence to Revell paint codes


Recommended Posts

Hoping someone can help...

I am about to embark on a build of the Revell #04300 Avro Lancaster B.Mk.I/III... which my father flew in. As a matter of fact, I am building it for him.

BUT... the Revell paint codes are kind of useless to me. I have lots of Mr.Color lacquer acrylics, MM enamels & acrylics, and Tamiya acrylics.

Below are the paint codes as listed in the kit instructions, and several of them are mixes.

What I am HOPING to get are the FS numbers (or even RGB codes) of each Revell paint code... so I can find a single bottle of paint out there without having to mix.

A )

Dunkelgrun, matt 68

dark green, matt

B )

Erde dunkel, matt 82

dark earth, matt

C )

95/5 mix of:

Schwarz, matt 8

black, matt

+

hellgrau, matt 76

light grey, matt

D )

Gelb, matt 15

E )

WeiB, matt 5

white, matt

F )

70/30 mix of:

seegrun, matt 48

sea green, matt

+

hellgrau, matt 76

light grey, matt

G )

Braun, matt 85

H )

Khakibraun, matt 86

I )

aluminium, metallic 99

aluminum, metallic

J )

25/75 mix of:

Eisen, metallic 91

+

Rost, matt 36183

K )

Please note:

The last 2 digits of the Revell of Germany paint numbers on the .PDF (such as 32101...32104....32105...etc) refer to the 2 digits of the paint number on the Instruction Sheet. I.E....'matt 68' on the instruction sheet is going to be 32168 on the .PDF downloaded from the website I sent you.

Hope this helps!

Also...you may have to do some Googleing to find the correct FS number and RAL/RLM number. But this .PDF gives you options to look for you didn't have before. I have found all of my correct paints for my RoG models using this reference.
