Mr Colour to Tamiya
Posted by stellamonster on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 5:37 PM

Hi,

I'am about to start on Academy's Mcdonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle and I'm trying to get the right colour match for Mr colour Metallic blue green ( C-57 ) using tamiya acrylics, I've tried using the ultimate paint conversion chart but had no luck.

Any help would be most appreciated 

Thanks Darren

Unfortunately there's no direct equivalent to this colour in the Tamiya acrylic range - Tamiya has a metallic blue but no metallic green, and nothing close to that particular shade.

Yes, your right Phil, I was up to 3am this morning going through the Tamiya paint charts and others wil no luck, will probably have to order some from Mr Lucky Models, but it seems a bit of a hastle for one small pot of paint coming all the way from Hong Kong.Huh?

I don't think, nor have found, any hoddy shops in the UK that supply Mr Color paints.

Thanks again

Darren
