Here are Tamiya mixes to reproduce some Federal Standards (FS) Colors.
Last updated: 2012-08-11
I update the list as soon as I test or receive new mixes, you can send new mixes or corrections to:
francois.huot@sympatico.ca
The hyperlink included with the colors sends you to the Federal Standard 595 Color Server website to give you an idea of how the colors look.
The mix ratios are by parts, i.e. XF2:1 means XF2 Flat White 1 part (1 drop or 1 gallon, the mix stays the same)
Warning: Several mixes I've tested myself (those with an *) but most of them come from Tamiya instructions, articles found in magazines and the web. I find them good but these are in no way definitive. They serve as a general guide that you can modifie to taste.
Scale effect: for those who believe, the smaller the scale, the lighter the colors. Thes mixes are formulated for 1/32 but you can add XF2:1 for 1/48 or XF2:2 for 1/72 as a start. Lighten to taste.
