Trying to find a chart or list for the XF range (my google-fu is weak.) Can find lists with Vallejo etc., but I'm looking for the cheaper sorts of paints (Americana, Apple Barrel, etc… ;-) Thanx in advance! |

I'd like to see that too. I've found lots of equivalency lists for various "serious" model paint lines, but none have ever included the craft acrylics. There are times when I wish I could just go pick up the right blue or green or brown for a high-coverage project. - Ix |

I always use the craft acrylic paints as mentioned. They are so much cheaper and do a good job for me. If there is a color that I need that is not represented in the MANY various colors offered in the ranges, Then I just mix colors together until I get the right color that I want. Always works for me. I also use the Walmart's ranges of primer and flat clear coat. |

wargames @ Nordalia used to have a chart of craft paint recipes to Vallejo paints but the site seems to have gone down a couple years ago. Thanks to internet magic though I've found it on the Internet Archive and re-posted it to my blog. craft-paint-to-vallejo-chart from there I'm sure you can find a vallejo to tamiya chart somewhere. |
