COLOR CHART - GUNZE SANGYO to HUMBROL

This chart converts the Gunze Sangyo Aqueous Hobby Colors often found in Hasegawa and Fujimi Kits to more familiar Humbrol colors

Sources for the information were paint manufactures color charts, an excellent article in Scale Model International Sept 1991 article by Richard Parker and various articles by Paul Boyer in Fine Scale Modeler.

It should be noted that the Humbrol color chart which converts other manufacturers colors to it's own paint is, while being extremely useful, sometime inaccurate. Most errors seem to be typographical but modelers should check with the actual color before starting work.
