I have a fair amount of GW paints, and was wondering what folks thought about which colors are suitable for some IJN Zekes and some USN F4F's and Dauntless? The paints will require thinning for my 1/300 scale planes. Thanks! E

If you can look up the Vallejo colors for those, then there's a converter to Citadel paints: link Wyatt

Hello ejacobs, Offhand I would paint the Zeros with the Kommando Khaki. Zeros were painted a olive-gray colour. They were not light gray, this idea has been superceded by new research in the last few years.

Looking at the Plaid Apple Barrel paints, I found a Light Leaf green that appears to maybe work. Haven't seen it in person yet though. E
