I'm currently sat here building the Airfix Brewster Buffalo (well, trying to build). Anyway, the instructions says to paint the inside of the cockpit with Humbrol 151. The snag is that Humbrol no longer make colour number 151. So the question is: What colour is 151?
IMHO, it's stupid of Airfix to suggest a paint colour that its parent company no longer makes.

According to IPMS Stockholm's site

Interior Green is now listed as Humbrol 226
Thanks for that. Considering the VJ Day set came out a couple of weeks ago, you'd think that Airfix would update the paint numbers.

There used to be two interior greens in Humbrol, one of them was 151 Jose
