Hello everyone, I am very new here to this site, and a former modeler with a very long time gap to my last build. I live in the Philippines, so finding supplies is a huge pain in the rear end. I have one seller that I have found that has basic stuff, and some of the XF paints by Tamiya, really nothing else in acrylics, so I have been stuck with their paint so far. I don't believe they sell match FS paint, and I was wondering if they are matched, or if I will have to do my own mixing based on some chart that I have yet to find? Does Tamiya have FS colors in their XF line of paint? If so, do they label them as FS, or do you just have to find the conversion when building a NON Tamiya aircraft? I have several kits from other makers, like Hasegawa and Hobby Boss, and I would like to get the correct colors for all these, using the Tamiya paint available to me. The guy that sells the paints, is located far from me, and I have to get the paint shipped, which is another hassle. Is there better, ready made FS acrylics, and if so, which brands do you favor? What are the primary colors that you MUST have all the time? I will be doing kits for all 5 branches of service, before I move into other era/nation kits, so my focus will be modern US aircraft for the foreseeable future, and I need to get the paint right before I can even consider building them. I have a bunch of XF colors already, and will make a list of them, before I order more paints to fill in the gaps. I am on a fixed income, so I need to try to get the most out of every dollar I spend. Also, I have tried to search for FS information on this site, but have had no real luck, just gives me posts to individual projects and nothing really about FS and Tamiya paints. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Sincerely, Anthony "stalker6recon".
