Humbrol Authentic

[piase]

Hello everyone,
Someone please tell me if the color khaki Humbrol Authentic HF1 corresponds precisely with 'Humbrol Matt Khaki 26?
Thanks

Looking at my older Humbrol colour booklet, it only has a cross reference for authentics HF5 and HF6, no HF1, and Matt Khaki 26 does not cross reference to any of the authentic listings so I feel it is fairly safe to say it most likely does not, and that the colour of HF1 has been discontinued.

Thanks for your answer,
you know by chance if there is a corresponding color Model Master and Tamiya, Gunze, etc..?......

What Bob says, I have no idea what HF1 was for a colour honestly to know the answer to that, all I know is it isn't listed in the colour chart, sorry

perhaps this link will be of any help

if you have an image showing this color you can uplaod that to that web page and then find matching colors for pixels in that image

The Humbrol authentic range shorts were used to refer to its user, i.e. HUxx is Humbrol USAF #xx and HF1 then means Humbrol French #1, so this would mean the mane for the color then would be French Khaki and a quick search brought up this

Not sure if that color is OK, but it looks like french khaki to me
