Title: Brit CDL
Post by: mike in calif on September 22, 2015, 01:02:40 PM

   What is a good Humbrol enamel match for a Brit CDL? HB16, 121, 74.....
 I've seen some nice whiter toned colors, and sort of like that look, as opposed to the creamier yellow ish.

Mike, I really like 121.  It's now my go to Brit CDL since my Tripe builds.

Nice builds, Bud. I looked in on your build(s) and saw that, so I'll start there.

Mike,
 I like Hum 41 Ivory for British CDL. This is a gloss yellowish white. To my eye, British CDL always looks lighter/paler than French or German CDL.
Good luck!

Chuck
