Hi folks!
I know you can help me. At the moment I'm working on Airfix new Albion Fuel Truck in 1/48. The main paint is given as Light Olive 86 from Humbrol. Now, I don't get Humbrol paints here and don't use enamels anymore. I would go for some Revell Aquas, as they are easy to get everywhere in Germany. To choose from I have Olive Drab 46, Olive Grey 66 or Olive Green 361. Personally I would favour the last mentioned one. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Torsten

Here's what Humbrol 86 looks like. Any olive green which looks mostly like that will work, especially given how paint fades in use.

Thanks for the quick response, Jessie! It looks as if I can choose between Olive Grey 66 and Greenish Grey 67 but I'll check that tomorrow at daylight. It's already dark here on the old continent. But Olive Green 361 looks far too green right now.
