Matching different manufacturer paint codes - is there a cross reference?
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, December 9, 2004 1:41 PM
I searched the forums and didn't see this. Sorry if it was there and I missed it...

I'm curently working on a few kits (gee - what a surprise - someone working on more than one kit at once! I'm thinking I should buckle down and work on only one at a time... I was thinking that working on multiple kits at the same time would reduce the number of times I'd need to break out the airbrush, in that I could paint the same color on multiple kits at the same time, but it's turned into a kind of a hassle trying to get them all at once but also finding similar uses for the same colors. Thoughts?).

Anyway, Tamiya references their paint colors, and I believe Hasegawa references Tamiya colors, as well. Problem is, I have a ton of Model Master paints that I don't want to throw out.

Is there any kind of a cross-reference chart that I could use for matching these up?

Thanks...

Hi, I just scanned my reference-chart from Humbroll. You can find the full-size on my website under Projects/Paint Reference Chart.
