Humbrol Paints

Humbrol Paints – The Classic Choice for Modelers

Humbrol is a British brand whose name is almost synonymous with model paints. For decades, modelers worldwide have reached for the distinctive small tins of enamel paint, valuing them for their durability, excellent coverage, and extensive color palette. Our selection includes both the company's classic enamels and modern acrylic paints, allowing you to find the right product for every project and modeler's preference. Humbrol paints are perfect for painting plastic and resin models, as well as figures and dioramas.

Enamels and Acrylics – What's the Difference?

The core Humbrol range is divided into two main lines. Enamel paints are solvent-based products that, once dry, form a very hard and damage-resistant coat. They are ideal for brush painting, providing a smooth finish without brush marks. They require the use of dedicated thinners. On the other hand, acrylic paints are water-based, fast-drying, and virtually odorless, making them more user-friendly for beginners and those working at home. They are well-suited for both brush and airbrush application. Both lines offer a rich variety of colors in different finishes: Matt, Satin, Gloss, and Metallic.
