Hey guys and gals, I'm about to start building the trumpeter kit of the F-105G thunderchief. Im looking for paint that covers the colours I need and preferably acrylic over enamels.

The main colours of concern are "Light green" and "forest green". I was trying to get them as tamiya acrylics but had no luck finding those colours! The closest I came was "flat green" and "deep green" respectively. If you've got any ideas let me know, especially if you've built an F-105G before and have advice! Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this would be of any assistance but this site has a fantastic referance guide to different paint manufactures.
