I would like to know what the cross over color for JMSDF ships are in the following brands: Tamiya, WEM, and Model Master/Testors
One suggestion I was given was White Ensign models color M14, with JMSDF Deck Grey being M15. FS35237 Medium Gray. Does this sound right and what would a good cross over to the other brands would you recommend?
Thanks

edit post.
I have settled on Tamiya XF-20 and XF-54 for the JMSDF DD123 build. The reason why is based on the color chart I found at
http://www.canit.se/~griffon/diverse/mo ... colref.txt
Here is a number of colors and cross over numbers.
I'm posting it here to help anyone who may have the same problem I did in trying to cross match colors that may no longer be avalible or may not be in production.
Here is a short list from the web site.

Fedral Standard numbers matched to Gunze Sanyo, Humbrol, Tamiya, Xtracolor, Polly S
