Colour reference chart helpful link

As i only have Tamiya paints and bought a few Aoshima models with instructions in japanese and as i dont know what the paint numbers mean, and with reference from Fujimi and Hasegawa managed to name a few numbers, i found a link for the colour reference chart

http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff_eng_colorcharts_gunze.htm

hope that helps newbies and/or someone unlucky to get a japanese only instructions, and also only can get Tamiya, Revell or Humbrol paints as here in the UK, cannot find Gunze Sanyo range of Mr Colour paints or similar

I use that often, it's a great referance page.

You can get the full range of Gunze Sangyo/Mr Colour paints via mail order from MDC in the UK.I have used them many times and they provide an excellent service.They only post to the UK,Ireland and Scandinavia.
