roni -

Don't know. Usually don't mix paints.

Not sure what color scheme you're tring to reproduce, but why not use the FS numbers, if they're not listed in the kit, your local hobby shop should be able to help out. Most aftermarket decal sheets include painting color requirements for different blocks and wings. BTW - I've done more than a few Vipers with MM Acryls, and they've come out pretty close to what I've benn after.

Archer out.

if you can find the FS number for the paints, which should not be hard, here is the chart of which tamiya paint matches that number.

http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff_eng_colorcharts_tamiya.htm

ok just found this it might be more helpful if harder to read... you can find the color from the model, then either look for it or CTRL-F and search the page for the name. it will tell you how many drips of which tamiya paint of each color to mix to make the color.. (or ratio if you need a lot) like XF-2*2, XF-22*1 is a 2 to 1 ratio of those two colors...

goos luck! the bare metal silver sounds like probably Aluminum on a newer AC... what part is it? there might be a color you could use because the chart didn't have that one in there...

Are you building the new Tamiya 1/32 F-16? If so, there paint codes listed will definitely all be Tamiya X-## codes.... no need to go mix stuff....
