Ok, so here is the problem. I am really trying to figure this out and don't know where to start. I got a few models to try to get back into things. The problem is one of them lists a color that I have not heard of and don't know if it's still in production. For right now I would like to stay with testors and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on how to find alternatives. The color is called cocoa brown. I am figuring out other colors, but this one has me stumped. thank you

Try Gunze sangyo aqueous hobby color # 17 cocoa brown gloss .

Will look into it thank you, I was trying to figure out an alternative so that I didn't have to pay for something I may not use again or for a while.

There's an application on the net . Ultimate paint model conversion or it words out to that , it gives you the equivalent of colors from different manufacturers . I'm sure somebody can point you to the right directions . But just going on the name that's the only one that I know of with that name . If you want to get mr hobby your best bet is eBay it runs about five bucks per bottle free shipping . That color line is very hard to find in the USA . The aqueous color that is .

Here come the links. Paint conversion sites, pick one that works for you Also if you own an iPhone or iPad there is an app called iModelKit. Now onto the links:

Thank you for the heads up and the links.

Thank you, I will check out ebay and see what I can find. What little I could find was not the color needed on other sites.

Did you find it ?

Don't forget the IPMS Stockholm colour reference charts. Part 2 lists equivalents for many popular paint ranges, including Gunze.

Cocoa brown's nearest equivalent according to this chart is Humbrol #10. Humbrol #10 is Tamiya X9 or Testors Model Master #1540
