Just thought I'd ask advice for the best paint colour match for the RAF fin flash circa 1940 as I'd like to spray paint this marking on. Not really bothered about brand, but Tamiya or Humbrol is easiest to get round here.

Both the red and the blue.

THanks in advance

Humbrol 189 for the blue, 6*Hu:178 + 4*Hu:70 + 3*Hu:34 + 2*Hu:107 for the red.

Look at IMPS Stockholm for details.

Edit - of course it helps that Humbrol have in their infinite wisdom discontinued 189. Hannas do a roundel blue in extracolour, but thats not good if you want to spray today, or this month....
