revell monogram problem

[speeddemon92]

i have just got a revell monogram kit, and living in the uk revell germany paints are easier to get hold of at my local hobby store. but, on the box it says to use revell monogram paint. because it only gives the paint names, i can't work out out if the paint sets are the same. i have tried the internet to find a revell monogram chart, but can't, or find a site that tells me the info i'm looking for. any responce will be welcomed.

Don't follow the paint guide that is on the box, that will give you what the box looks like. No fun there. Unless you are making a race car, and want it to look like the box. If it says to use red, look at all the reds and find the one you like the most, or pick a different color all together.

That's only good advice if you're building a regular street type car
