1975/76 Revell Great Britain catalogue

[Huntsman’s Close 40]

I don’t suppose anybody has a copy of the 1975 Revell GB catalogue to hand?

Yours in hope....

probably find that a third of it is in the 2021 catalogue 🤣

Thanks for looking into it Beowulf.  The ‘75 catalogue is unfortunately the one with the golden information!

I've got magazines that far back. Anything in particular you're looking for?

Cheers RWG6... oh Scimitar!

From Airfix magazines of 1974/5 I’ve gleaned the names of the 24 paints in the “new” Revell (GB) enamel range.  The codes, and the magic mixing formula(!), elude me.  The codes might, just might, cross reference Humbrol numbers. It’s supposed to all be in the 75/76 catalogue. Someone is currently offering one on eBay for £20: I’m not THAT desperate to know!

These appear to have been short lived paints as some time in the early 1980s tins of enamel from the German range took over.

Revell (GB) seem to have recommended Pactra paints up to then. I wonder if they made the enamels for them?

Cheers
