If your like me & prefer to brush paint your models, The Tamiya "AS" sprays are available but some of these colours are not produced in brush on form, I have found this list on the web, it tells you which XF paints to mix & what ratio hopfully some will find it useful:D
"Tamiya Spray Paints for Aircraft (AS)"
("=" means : is very close to)
("~=" means : looks pretty close by my eye)
("~=?" means : I'm guessing at this one, but it can't be too far off)
AS-1 (Dark Green) = XF-61
AS-2 (Light Grey) ~=? XF-20 + XF-25 (1:1)
AS-3 (Grey Green)~=? XF-18 + XF-26 (3:1)
AS-4 (Grey Violet)--- no clue on this one--- maybe XF-24 + XF-18 + XF-9 (7:3:1)
AS-5 (Light Blue) ~=? XF-23 + XF-19 (4:1)
AS-6 (Olive Drab) ~=? XF-62 + XF-10 (4:1)
AS-7 (Neutral Grey) = XF-53
AS-8 (Navy Blue) ~=? X-3 + X-4 + XF-17 + XF-53 (10:10:3:3)
AS-9 (Dark Green) ~= XF-62 + XF-52 (3:1)
AS-10 (Ocean Grey) ~=? XF-53 + XF-18 (6:1)
AS-11 (Medium Sea Grey) ~= XF-20
AS-12 (Bare Metal Silver) ~= XF-16
AS-13 (Green) ~= XF-27
AS-14 (Olive Green) ~=? XF-58 + XF-62 (1:1)
AS-15 (Tan) ~=? XF-57 + XF-52 (4:1)
AS-16 (Light Grey) ~=? XF-20 + XF-2 (1:3)
AS-17 (Dark Green (IJA)) ~=? XF-61 + XF-2 (2:1)...or perhaps XF-11 + XF-2 (2:1)
AS-18 (Light Grey (IJA)) ~= XF-25
AS-19 (Intermediate Blue (USN)) ~=? XF-50 + XF-2 (2:1)
AS-20 (Insignia White (USN)) Unsure on this one...the chip looks grey...perhaps XF-19 + XF-2 (1:2)
