Hi all, the wife bought me the Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ for Christmas, and
I've got a question about the paint colours. The instructions refer to
AS-10 RAF Ocean Grey, AS-26 Light Ghost Grey, AS-27 Gunship Grey 2 and
AS-28 Medium Grey. Can anyone tell me what the closest equivalent to
these colours is in the Tamiya Acrylic range? It doesn't have to be an
exact match, a close approximation will do for me.

AS10 = XF20 (FS36270)
AS27 = XF24 (FS36118)
Tamiya don't really do equivalents to medium grey or light ghost grey other
than the AS range, which to my eyes are too bluish anyway. Try Vallejo Model
Air 71050 or Lifecolor UA026 for light ghost grey FS36375, and Lifecolor
UA034 light grey for medium grey FS36251. Then again, now you're armed with
the FS numbers you need, have a look at
http://ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff_eng_colorcharts_fs.htm
and see what there is on there.

The AS range are the Tamiya Aircraft Spray range and may not be
available in all countries. Check the Tamiya website for more details.

Hope this helps.
