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.

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.

Confused

My Humbrol chart shows RC417 as off white - no mention of ivoryHuh
I am seriously confused - Have I got an out of date chart?

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 ValBigGrin

Quite glad I haven't started my build yet as there seem to be changes in later issues as Tomick said earlier! Cool
