Hi Antonio! the idea is to add the official colors (eg. FS code) for each decal option.

These are converted to nice colors:
BS381C:537 BS381C:642 BS381C:629
FS30219 FS34227 FS33531 FS35622
RLM72 RLM73 RLM65
RAL6013 RAL2005 RAL5010
One of the next steps (on TODO) if you click on the color you would go to a page with all the related colors from multiple paint ranges:

The TODO " if you click on the color you would go to a page with all the related colors from multiple paint ranges" would be simply great! Thanks for all the efforts, Tim! Respects! (and belated happy B-day, btw)

Antonio Micheli
Great! Thank you for the reply; let me know if i can help you in anyway; take care... Best, Antonio

Very Nice 👍

Definitely on my wish list. Paint equivalence is a really tough challenge with any kit, we all pick one or two paint manufacturers to work with, but kit makers only give codes for their own favoured range. My biggest challenge I have found is when I can find equivalents for all but one major colour. This is quite common with Tamiya when they call out their AS range.

Antonio Micheli
I agree with Chaz about the difficulty of finding the correct color equivalences between the various manufacturers. However I think it's a good starting point to know which ones are established by the kit manufacturer (especially in this era where many purchases are made via web). After which it is up to each of us to find the best solutions, it's part of the game...

Using decal options for designating manufacturer-suggested paint colors is not a good idea in my opinion - that section of a product's description should be DECAL options (some kits do actually come with multiple decal options). I think a separate paints list section would be better, and then clicking on a paint color can have functionality which clicking on a decal option would not have. (fyi, there exists multiple web sites hosting paint brand conversion tables for looking up color equivalencies)

This was solved a while ago, you can click on a color under Markings. From there you can see all similar colors from all brands or your personal favourites.

Taking a seat, of course!
(Perhaps the transparencies and propellers from this kit would work:

Thank you Robert! The three-bladed standard propellers in the kit are actually fine, it is the transparencies I am a bit worried about.

Me 2, must watch this - wondering how good/bad this kit is

Dave Flitton
Watching!!

Me 3, this will be another great build to follow.

Me 5!
I still don't understand why they haven't released a more updated tool for this model yet.

Moreno Baruffini
Thomas, you are a specialist in reminding me the models I started and non finished (yet)! Super inspiring, and a great build to follow for sure!

Thomas Kolb
Dear friends, thank you for your interest. I am a bit curious myself how this model will turn out - I have read some pretty nasty things about it in reviews, but I am not sure it's so bad. It certainly looks very intricately designed, not your usual shake 'n' bake kit for sure.

Weird, let me check

If you search your stash, don't you just go to your stash?
