If you want to convert a model paint to a more universally usable formula, use this Revell table to concert to RAL numbers: https://www.revell.com/support/paint-guide.html

A lot of people use current British Standard BS381c No 499 Service Brown as the modern substitute for SCC2, without recourse to paint matching to a half inch square colour chip or fleck of paint.

I used 499 on this restoration

Incidentally SCC paints were not named. There was just the number and vague descriptions like “the colour of coffee with milk”

One more, this time the same HUW from the front and colourized with a more grey black.
