Hi William, Mr T's Official build Diary suggests Humbrol RC417, which is an off white. Our local Toy Master sells it or readily available on line.

You could try Vallejo 70918 Ivory. Available here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/it...amp;hash=item58965b4d29

RC418 is a maroon/burgundy red and is named as such on the Humbrol web site

To be totally correct, RC418 is listed as Red, but specifically as EWS Red, which is a railway livery colour which was used by English, Welsh and Scottish Rail, a freight company. As Mr T says, it is a Maroon or Brown Red.

I ordered rc417 I think there maybe something wrong with my eyes,as it is not ivory. And I don't think off white it looks a greeny white .

My Humbrol chart shows RC417 as off white - no mention of ivory  I am seriously confused - Have I got an out of date chart? Regards Delboy271155 COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

It is indeed off-white, you may have a bad batch
Best bet is to paint in a colour you prefer, because issue 19/20 shows white rather than ivory white as was previously indicated/shown.

Cool, think I'll get the set, thanks Val  Quite glad I haven't started my build yet as there seem to be changes in later issues as Tomick said earlier!  Pete
