[WWI] PC 10

[Tom Mason]

Rob,

Since none of the local hobby shops carry Humbrol it is next to impossible 
get through them, and if i can order it i have to order a 6 tin minimum. i 
do some Humbrol laying around i will see I  have any those numbers. Most of 
the Humbrol i have is the older stuff with names insted of numbers.
Thanks for the help,

T.O.M.
