Hey

        Everyone

                Check is website. http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/colorcharts.asp

Go down a little and you'll see that the charts are organized by country. It is not all inclusive but it should be a start.

Hope it helps.

I would suggest checking Tamiya's website first. I do recall them having articles in their magazine about custom mixes from their paint line.

Cross-reference paint charts for Tamiya?
Posted by RichardI on Saturday, September 27, 2008 3:46 PM

I use Tamiya acrylic paints - they are pretty much all that is available at my LHS. There used to be a database on the 'net that had the mixes to make your own aircraft colours. (e.g. British dark green = XF-58:1, XF-62:5). I always found that these mixes worked really well when a touch of white was added to lighten them slightly. Problem is, that database doesn't seem to be available any more. Does anyone know where I might find such information?

Thanks,
