Hey guys. I need help finding tamiya paint equivalents.

I need the colors for the three-toned corsair. I beleive the colors are dark sea blue, intermediate blue, and insignia white.

I also need Light grey and insignia white for my USN Vietam Skyraider.

Hope that made sense!

For the corsair I think you would need the following Tamiya paints (if I've understood your request):

XF-17 Sea Blue
XF-18 Medium Blue
X-2 White

For the Skyraider (i used these colours)

XF-19 Sky Grey and darkened it slightly with XF-20 Medium Grey
X-2 White

These are the closest matches that I could find at the time (but i ended up using Xtracrylics for my Corsair)

Hope this helps

Cheers

Allen
