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.

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.
