Please don't make fun of me guys....I am an aircraft NEWBIE!!! Could someone tell me who makes colors equivalent to the Tamiya AS-5, AS-23 and AS24? These are spray cans and I can't find them anywhere. I would also like to know the RLM numbers if anyone has them. The RLM numbers might make it easier to find Pactra and other paints.
THANKS!!!! Jeff

Go into the painting forum and on about page 7 is a thread starting with 'humbrol color # chart'. About half-way down the thread is one showing a reference site from Stockholm IPMS. Part 1 looks like it has the information you need. This thread was submitted by Lt. General Plasticbattle. Hope it helps.

Yep, George pretty much nailed it. RLM 76/82/83 is right for most of those. Some early versions had 74/75/76, and as the war ended many had panels in natural metal and many other colors as well, but those were the main (intended) colors.
