NealParkes Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi, This is a question that often gets asked in the modelling community. But as a basic answer to your question no I don’t think there is an official equivalence to the colours you are after. The best solution I have come across is the IPMS Stockholm colour chart Linky here. Their Tamiya equivalents are: DCG = ???? DSG = XF-24 MSG = XF-53 Barley Grey = ??? Just to add to your confusion the ImodelKit app on iPhone gives the following: DCG = XF-53 DSG = XF-77 MSG = XF-75 Barley Grey = XF-75 I hope this helps a bit Neal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG899 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) The new Humbrol enamel paint and conversion charts given away with the last AMW gives: Are there are direct Tamiya equivalent colours to the following humbrol for a Harrier GR.7/9; -156 Dark Camouflage Grey > XF53 -164 Dark Sea Grey > XF24 -165 Medium Sea Grey > No match given, but XF12 is given as a match for Humbrol 64 Light Grey, which is their non-satin MSG -167 Barley Grey > XF19 Which again, all adds confusion when compared to the matches provided above; but, I hope it helps, a bit. Good luck Nick Edited March 20, 2018 by NG899 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're readily available, cheap, and have virtually the entire modern RAF line. And quite accurate as well, the exception perhaps being MSG which is a bit blue-ish. Tamiya XF-83 is MSG from WW2 which from what I've read is the same as the one used now (please correct me if I'm wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
