I've struggled to even get an up to date full colour chart for MRP Bob.

There are some conversions on the Hobby Color Converter app, if that's any good for you. Not quite a chart but it might help.

Thanks Pete, but that's one of the old ones that I already have. Around 100 colours short

A lot of MRP paints have RLM /BS or FS numbers. It’s a bit of a journey, but it’s one way of cross referencing.

I dont see the need for paint conversion charts at all. MRP provide the approriate FS/RLM/BS etc numbers. The colours are very specific shades for whatever subjects you are doing. If the instructions, like Tamiya, just give you brand specific colours then you can do some base research online for what actual colours the subject was painted and relate directly to the MRP shades.

Just spent time and yes the varoius numbers are there, just a pain to look and look lol

Had a look and don't think my link will help as it covers mainly RAF / RNAS.
