Hi
I've used some of these paints with my airbrush and liked them. I'm thinking of airbrushing my larger kits - ie large bombers. I need to know if the colours in the Model Air range match actual colours. I need matches for the following.
RAF Dark Sea Grey, RAF Dark Green, RAF Light Aircraft Grey, RAF Dark Earth, RAF Medium Sea Grey.
Olive Drab (ANA13), Neutral Grey, Light Compass Grey and Dark Compass Grey.

thanks
Mike

Hey there Mike,

If you know the FS colors, or the name of that color in any other line, you can see comparisons across about 20 or so lines of paint.

Ultimate Paint Conversion Chart

It defaults to FS numbers, but you can turn on or off any of the available paint lines from RGB, Humbrol, Tamiya, Vallejo, etc, etc.

Each brand column can be sorted how ever you want.

Great site, indispensable tool!
