This link http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/gb/model-air-gb.html and click on "Equivalent Values"

Gives all of the equivalents of the Vallejo paints.

If you match to Tamiya XF-69 NATO Black and XF-68 NATO Brown
you get Model Air 71056 & 71040 respectively.

Does that help ?

His link and "Equivalent Values" lead to a pdf file. You need for example acrobat reader to open it.

I don't recall the ones in Model Air, but Model color is 890 Reflective Green, 862 Black Grey, and 982 Calvary Brown.

The link that Kevin posted for "The Ultimate Paint Conversion" chart is one of the best out there.
