I think Clear Red and Clear Blue are Transparent Red and Transparent Blue, as only 2 tiny little parts need painted this color and they look like landing lights on each wing tip, can anyone confirm this?

Probably one of the most comprehensive colour charts. http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/pdf_web/CC073_rev03.pdf

But Scott the paint manufacturers all do their own ranges & you have to dig to do cross matches. Takes time but you will soon get to know where to look & the best way to go about it. Just Google what you want & you will find pages of it.

Correct. If the lights are in clear plastic, and hollow, a little drop on a cocktail stick then stuck in the hollow inside works well.

Are there no colour codes for another make of paint, I believe Academy give numbers for mr.color

What model FW190 is it? Give as many details about it as you can. We can give you the correct colours then
