Paint Equivalents

Tamiya to Mission Models paint conversion chart

Every Tamiya paint with its closest Mission Models equivalent, matched by CIEDE2000. 320 rows, sorted by name.

205 of the 320 Tamiya colours below have an equivalent in Mission Models within ΔE 5, the distance at which a substitution stops being obvious on a painted model. 67 sit within ΔE 2 and are interchangeable outright. Across the whole range the typical distance is ΔE 4.0. The 115 gaps are not spread evenly: 30 of them are greens, so that is the corner of the Tamiya range Mission Models does not answer.
