This evening I've spent an hour or so stocktaking the Humbrol tinlet stash, all enamel, haven't quite got to grips with acrylic yet, I still have nightmares remembering the dodgy goo given away in starter sets??
I have 121 original colours from the range and 96 duplicates of which includes:
4X 114 matt Russian Green (not sure why?)
5X 188 Chrome Yellow (no idea why I have this many?)
6X 165 Sea Grey Medium (common RAF colour, makes sense)
7X 27 matt Sea Grey (again, don't know why? I bought a rattle can of the stuff to paint my R7 Soyuz boost stage?)
I have 3X of the more common RAF colours too
a further
58 Humbrol Authentics and 34 bespoke mixes, I make that 307 tinlets!!
Thats just Humbrol, not counting Revell, Xtracolor and Molak. Although thier numbers are a modest figure by comparison!!
Does this amount seem excessive? I have been collecting them for 30 odd years??

Posted
15 individual greys, 37 including duplicates
14 individual blues, 39 including duplicates
19 individual greens, 30 including duplicates
also found another 8 Humbrol Authentics
and thirteen discontued colours including Hu168 Hemp, so what colour are we supposed to paint our Nimrods and Canberra PR9's?
To complete the set I need a further 34 of which 22 are discontinued!!
