Engineering Bricks - Revell or Humbrol colour No?

[M.I.B]

Engineer's (blue/grey) bricks - what colour number for Revell or Humbrol please?

 

I know that Pecision Paints do the right shade, but no-one aanywhere near here sells PP, and the PnP on one pot makes it a little expensive.

 

In reality, most bricks are a different shade, or even in some cases two shades in one brick. Same with Engineers' bricks.

 

So if there is a close Humbrol or Revell, I am going to be mixing a different shade for every odd brick.

 

Thanks in advance.

Humbrol 77 matt Navy blue is a good match for engineers bricks. As always you can mix in a little of other shades to vary it but it is pretty good straight from the tin.

That's one which I didn't consider.

 

Thanks for the tip. Will mix with a litle 67 "Tank grey" - also used for GWR freight vehs

If its in London, Humbrol 98, matt chocolate, with a dusting of Humbrol 33, matt black.

After this info, I mixed up a few small batches - Humbrol 79 Blue Grey 50:50 with Humbrol 77 Navy Blue seems to be my preference.
