As I'm awaiting (crossed fingers) for an Airfix F35 that's not a quickbuild, I'm building an F35 B from Italeri. They have listed 4679 Flat Metal Steel. I can't find it for sale in the UK and direct from Italeri is going to cost 35 Euros! There is no direct equivalent from Humbrol, can someone suggest a close match?

I've just started the new Wellington Bomber build. Love the detail and quality of the casting. The problem I have is the paints. I ordered the paints from the site as shown and only when the box arrived did I notice I also needed 70 (Brick Red). Now I have the challenge, find out how to blend the shade or order the colour and wait. Can the site be updated to list the correct set of paints required, please.

Over the last year I've regained my love of modelling. The down side is a lot of acrylic paint pots and tools. At the moment they are stored in an old Quality Street tin, but that's not fit for purpose anymore. I need something that is transportable and can carry all the stuff. Any suggestions?

DoubleD thanks a million. Is there a particular conversion page you use? Just in case I meet the same problem in the future.

Hi all, I'm just returning to modelling after many (cough) years. I'm about to begin on building the Airfix A04105 de Havilland Chipmunk T.10 Kit, but I can't seem to find two acrylic paints anywhere, 78 - Cockpit Green and 126 - US Medium Grey. Does anyone have any ideas to replace these colours, either from other manufactures or mixes from Humbrol?
