Can anyone point me to an equivalency chart for this information? Most people seem to use the Tamiya colors, but I am not overly fond of acrylics.
I really like MM's Dunkelgelb, and their greens seem nice too, but I am suspicious of their Browns.
Any advice, help, etc... is appreciated.
I am in the US.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi didiumus, the colour conversion chart I use most for Humbrol enamels is at the following link. Hope it helps.

The browns of Model Master Enamels are as good as the other colours. For german camo the brown that they have for the three colour scheme is the Scokololadenbraun (#2096), it is the first brown tone, so itīs the darker one, it looks like semi dark chocolate.
For the red brown used afterwards the match is Humbrol Red Brown (#160).
