As there are apparently no bottled equivalents for Tamiya's AS -13, -14,
or -15, does anyone know of the best bottled acrylics for Vietnam era USAF
green, olive green, or tan? Or better yet, any of the right colors for a
Vietnamese era camouflaged Phantom II?

Check out
http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff_eng_colorcharts_us.htm for an
exact set of FS 595a numbers for colors - BTW, they are 30219, 34102, 34079
and 36622 for the SEA scheme- and on Urban's site there are crossreferences
to most brands of paint, acrylic and enamel both. Very handy!

what about Xtracolor? They have enamels and acrylics covering the SEA
schemes (and a lot more)

FS30219, FS34102, FS34079, FS36622, IIRC...

Gunze:
H310 (tan), H303 (green), H309 (another green), H311 (gray that looks
like a dirty white)

Lifecolor:
UA015 (tan), UA002 (green), UA091 (the other green), UA021 (the dirty
white), Bayer Aspirin (you'll need that with the Lifecolors)

And Humbrols 118, 117, 116, 28, FWIW...
