Hi all,
As per the subject title, has anyone got or found such a table…
Would they mind posting a link to it please…
As I live in the UK, finding Testors paints over here is like finding “Rocking Horse Droppings”
So I need to convert the following…
FS:30219 Dark Tan
FS:34079 Dark Green
FS:34102 Medium Green…From Testors to Tamiya…
I look forward to your replys
I paid a visit to IPMS Stockholm’s website. They have the best color chart available. I’ve been trying to match some Humbol colors to Testors and it’s the most complete.
FS:30219 Dark Tan is XF52
FS:34079 Dark Green is XF27
FS:34102 Medium Green- not finding a direct equivalent in Tamiya. It’s a match for Humbol 117 if that helps.
(Paul is right. 116 was the dark green. I read my notes wrong.)
Here’s another good data base for paint conversions: http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/portland/971/reference/humbrol.htm
FS34102 I believe is Humbrol 117. The IPMS site is pretty amazing!

OK, but if we don’t care about Humbrol, is there a Tamiya to Testors conversion table somewhere? Something that is not Humbrol based, where XF4 & 58 aren’t even shown (among others).
Two of the better paint conversion tools out there are;
http://www.paint4models.com/ (which has both Testors & Tamiya)
&
http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/colorcharts_2.asp (which doesn’t have Testors, but is still pretty useful)
