It it quite common for model kit manufacturers to only cite paints of their own manufacture in the instructions or their kits (eg. Tamiya, Revell of Germany, Airfix/Humrol).
While you may not find a conversion chart online which converts Modelist paints to other brands you should be able to use such a chart to come up with a suitable choice.

IPMS Stockholm has such a chart. There are others on other modeling sites. From your kit instructions you should know that Modelist paint color "A" is Dark Earth (for example). Go to the charts with the Dark Earth name and look for a corresponding paint in a paint manufacturer which you have access to.
