Can anyone please tell me the corresponding Vallejo Model Air colors to these Federal Standard colors? Any close matches?

FS36231
FS36251
FS36628


Trying to be sure I get them right before I place an order.

Thanks much!

Thanks, Kevin. I was able to find a couple of those FS colors (in Model Color) using the database so I guess I can try thinning those. FS36251 is non-existent though.

Thanks again,

Rob

Not that it helps in your search for FS 36251, but Vallejo's own equivalency charts may be helpful in the future: http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/pdf_web/CC073_rev03.pdf

Thanks, Phil! Yeah, I did find this yesterday while looking for these FS colors. It will indeed come in handy in the future.
