RLM colours and Tamiya (acrylic) paints
Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone has a list of what mixes of Tamiya paints equates to the various RLM colours? I am aware of the IPMS charts (and all the inconsistencies in them when trying to compare across the various paint brands such as Humbrol, Tamiya and Gunze). I also have the Vol 2 of the Luftwaffe Colours book with the paint chips in it but these don't help when trying to find modern paint equivalents (without going to the local paint shop and getting them to colour analysis each chip and make a pot of paint up!). But things like RLM 02 and 70, 71 have no direct Tamiya match and need to be mixed. Does anyone have what ratios they use for achieving this? Also, IS there a range of paints (preferably acrlyics) that include the RLM colours as part of the range? thanks in advance.
