Paint Equivalents

Mission Models to AK Interactive paint conversion chart

Every Mission Models paint with its closest AK Interactive equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 201 rows, sorted by name.

176 of the 201 Mission Models colours below have an equivalent in AK Interactive within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 85 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 2.3. The 25 gaps are not spread evenly: 9 of them are blues, so that is the corner of the Mission Models range AK Interactive does not answer.

How close is close enough? Reading the ΔE column

Moving a whole recipe across takes more than one pot. These search the boxed sets each range is sold in.
