Aoshima Paint code help!

So I recently purchased the Aoshima Nismo Skyline GT-R 34 and quickly ripped open the box and marveled at my newest purchase.

That enthusiasm waned a little when I read through the instructions and realized that I can't read Kanji! :loser:

Does anyone know of a URL where I can take the Aoshima paint codes (letters and numbers) and relate them to either Tamiya colors or simple descriptions (i.e. semi-gloss black, silver, etc..)

Any help would be greatly appreciated as would any reference pics of that particular model.

Thanks in advance!

Does Aoshima use Gunze Sangyo paint codes on their paint charts?

The black letters on white are GSI Creos (formerly Gunze Sangyo) Mr. Aqueous Hobby Color, and white letters on black are Mr. Color synthetic lacquer. Try Google to find the cross reference chart.

Bill, I have a cross reference chart on my website if you're interested, it's in the 'tutorials' section.
