The IPMS Stockholm Colour charts don't list exact matches for Model Master, but they list Humbrol mixes, and Model Master's nearest equivalents to Humbrol which can help you get started.

Actually, for the French 5 colour camouflage we have a thread on the subject.

Model Master paints to be used on metal cowling & upper wing tank areas:

Dk Green
Medium Green
Dk Brown
Sand
Flat Black

For the fabric areas All these should have a 15% mix of aluminum except the black it never had the aluminum powder mix. On the metal areas the medium green tended to be a bright version on the American contract aircraft.
