Well, in looking at your question, the average modeler here would probably wonder why you are trying to adapt Tamiya colors when you can buy Testors MM already in the correct shades as defined by Svenne Duva available at the local hobby store ?
For instance, I chugged in "RAL 7021" into Testors website search block and got this:
Model Master - 4795, Panzer Schwarzgrau RAL 7021 (f) 1/2 Oz.
If you feel that you are "labouring in vain", perhaps isn't it pehaps because you are trying to "re-invent the wheel"? ![Whistling [:-^]](/emoticons/icon_smile_whistling.gif)
