If you have white and black of the same type of paint, mix your own. I do this all the time as I hate to stock lots of infrequently used colors. A couple of variants on each of the main colors and a few of the very hard to mix (e.g. neons) and I can get pretty much any color I want.

A great book on color mixing is "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green", by Wilcox. It's oriented around artists colors, not model paints, but the principles are universal.

You could also try the Model Master line of paint, so far I have had good success with them. They sell both FS (Federal Standard) colors and also have a line of WWII specific colors. By the way, are you planning on hand painting or airbrushing the aircraft?
Good luck on that B-26!
