Does anyone have a conversion of the following FSN paint numbers to Tamiya Acrylic 1/3 oz. bottle paints?
FSN 30219 Dark Tan
FSN 34102 Medium Green
FSN 34079 Dark Green
FSN 36622 Camo Grey
Maybe Testors Model Master Acryl colors would be the way to go. Are these the same?
Dark Tan
Medium Green
Dark Green
Camouflage Grey
Not sure Tamiya has these colors. They probably have to be mixed. Hopefully someone on here has the ratios. All I know is Gunze’s equivalent, which are:
FS 36622: H311
FS 34079: H309
FS 30219 H310
FS 34102 H303
here are a few of the “paint sets” for those four colors, I have all of these except for the one marked with an **
Model Master Acrylics
FS 30219 #4709 Dark Tan
FS 34079 #4726 Dark Green
FS 34102 #4734 Medium Green

34102 #505390 US Tack Mid Green **I don’t have this one

34102 #1061 34102 US Med. Green
36622 #1062 US Lt Gray FS 36622 (this one is quite dark, I lighten it with white)
Life Color Acrylics (I will use these if and when the Aeromaster colors stop being available to me)
30219 #UA015 30219 Tan Vietnam
34079 #UA001 34079 Dark Green

someone posts a Tamiya mix ratios link sometimes, I don’t have that saved,maybe they will see this and post it for you
but, so far, you have 5 sets of paint ranges and the bottle numbers and names

Most major paint brands, except Tamiya, have the Air Force SEA colors in their paint lines, enamel or acrylic. If you absolutely must use Tamiya, you will either have to mix them, or go with closest approximation out of the bottle.
Tamiya is really good for IJA and IJN colors.
The Vietnam era paints used by the USAF faded much faster than current paints.
