hi , it would be a good idea if you could be more general , is it aircraft , armour , ships , figures , also period as colours alter so ist ww is different to ww2 , and modern is even more complex . cheers ian

you're right, i should be more specific. What I'm looking for is a scheme to "translate" f.i. Humbrol paint to Tamiya. I'm looking for the correct word (in English) but can't find it. I hope you understand what I mean.
Thanks for your reply!

Hi there...

the word your looking for is "convert" or a "conversion chart"

here is a link to a testors to humbrol and tamiya to humbrol conversion chart
