Hi I’m starting to build a J2M5 Raiden and I have to colors that I need to find the vallejo color code for. Light grey mitsubishi and Orange yellow.

I have tried to search the web but could not find any cross reference. Even if it’s not spot on its good for me.

Did you check the “Equivalencies” at Vallejo website? (www.acrylicosvallejo.com)

Here is a link to a chart a memebr made a while back.

The vallejos equivalencies is really good but it’s a little help for japanese aircraft colors.

I have been looking trough a ton of comparisson charts, I came to two different colors. One was tamiya xf-66 and the other xf-12. Which would be closer to the IJN light grey used on the bottom of their aircraft?

I would go with Vallejo 049 Medium Sea Grey. It’s closer to FS 36307.
