I recently came across a list of colors that i should use when painting figures. However the list was using Testors paints and i only have model master acrylic and tamiya paints in my area hobby shops. Does anyone have any clue which Model Master/Tamiya paints would match with these colors???? Heres the list:
Faded Olive Drab (2051)
SAC Bomber Tan (1742)
Dark Tan (1742)
OG Green (1164)
Gunmetal (1795)
Brass (?)
Wood (1735)
Green (2029)
Sand (1706)
Armor Sand (1704)
Pale Green (1716)
Flat Tan (1167)
European Grey (1788)
Sand (1706)
Field Drab (1702)

Even if you dont know all the colors please post whichever ones you know!! Also links or charts are very appreciated!!
Cheers
John

Hi John,

This site is one of the best there is also a section that deals with FS numbers.

Hope this helps and many of the manufacturers like Humbrol offer paint conversion charts in their free annual paint brochures.
