Humbrol Enamel 111 Uniform Grey/Field Grey?

Post by RMD »

Does anyone have any tins of this esteemed pigment that they no longer require? The bastards at Humbrol discontinued one of my most-used colours about 3 years ago and by the time I found out (my local art shop was well-stocked) the last stocks were long-gone.

If not, please check your local model shops and buy any 111 you see!!!! It's a seller's market and I'm willing to pay a fair price... :oops:

If anyone comes down this way I'll get them to smuggle some back to you. I bought up a couple of dozen tins last time they pulled this stunt!

Closer to home for you, these guys all seem to have some in stock https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/ac ... A0111.html https://www.firestormgames.co.uk/humbrol-field-grey-111 https://www.curtisward.com/humbrol-matt-tinlet.html

I cannot understand the justification for regularly screwing the Humbrol users over from time to time. They had the perfect formula, they have a great range (with two perfect blues) why can't they just sit back and let the money roll in?

I share your pain. When they deleted 170 (my favourite rust colour) I got a family member to buy a load off ebay. Still using them.

I have a little old model shop that pretty much only me goes in.
I’m going next month for walls and fences and crap for Ayton. I’ll have a look on the cobwebbed humbrol shelf for you if I remember.

Cheers chaps! I've ordered the remaining four from Firestorm Games - the Memsahib will kill me if I spend any more on 'toys', as a parcel arrived from Pendraken today and we're on our hols next week.
