    Humbrol Brunswick green is ""%****@!!

    I like Humbrol. I've used the stuff since I started making models 60 odd years ago, but this!

    I wish to register a complaint!
    Humbrol brunswick green, I accuse you of being a damned nuisance! 3 coats and still transparent!!

    'Though I've shaken you and stirred you,
    By the Gods I don't deserve you,
    You're a thinner paint than normal, Humbrol Green'
    (apologise to Kipling).

    Really stupidly lacking in pigment. Is it me or is all brunswick green like this?

    Check your tin for a small union jack that will indicate that its British made as some paint was farmed out to China as I have had no issues with mine or maybe its a bad batch.
    As a number of years ago I had some British made red gloss paint that turned out to be maroon.
    I have had no issues with humbrol gloss recently so you could have a dodgy batch
