Hi all, the wife bought me the Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ for Christmas, and I've got a question about the paint colours. The instructions refer to AS-10 RAF Ocean Grey, AS-26 Light Ghost Grey, AS-27 Gunship Grey 2 and AS-28 Medium Grey. Can anyone tell me what the closest equivalent to these colours is in the Tamiya Acrylic range? It doesn't have to be an exact match, a close approximation will do for me.
Cheers,
Steve
AS10 = XF20 (FS36270) AS27 = XF24 (FS36118)
Tamiya don't really do equivalents to medium grey or light ghost grey other than the AS range, which to my eyes are too bluish anyway. Try Vallejo Model Air 71050 or Lifecolor UA026 for light ghost grey FS36375, and Lifecolor UA034 light grey for medium grey FS36251. Then again, now you're armed with the FS numbers you need, have a look at
The AS range are the Tamiya Aircraft Spray range and may not be available in all countries. Check the Tamiya website for more details.
