I do a lot of WWII miniature ship and aircraft painting for 1:1800 scale ships and 1:900 scale for the Axis and Allies "War at Sea" naval wargame. (I painted 1:1200 Alnavco many, many years ago in High School.) Over the last 8 years or so I have gradually put a Vallejo paint equivalents table to most of the WWII naval camouflage colors. I then started on the WWII air force camouflage colors. I am still working on the air force colors, but only have the Italian Air Force and late war US colors still to do. The document has a page with all the references I have used and collected over the years. This table has been circulating the internet for awhile, but I am constantly updating it so there is a good chance you have an old copy if you have seen it before. Anyway, here is the latest version and link. Feedback (constructive) is welcome. I will post an updated link when I update the document. link |

Thank you. Very useful but on the smaller scales (1/4800-1/6000) would you recommend going lighter? |

Artistically, in my experience, you have to scale colour. When you paint in 2D, things in the distance are always lighter. Smaller scale…. further away… cut to old Father Ted sketch. John T |
