Tools
Four hands-on bench tools: how big the model will turn out, which paint matches which code, how much of each in the mix, and how much thinner in the cup.
Scale calculator
Three questions that keep coming up at the bench.
F-16C = 15,06 m · Leopard 2 = 9,97 m · Spitfire Mk.IX = 9,54 m
The bars are in correct proportion to each other.
For kits with no box or markings. Also shows the nearest standard scale.
Useful for scratch-building: how big what you're making really is.

17 colors, all cross-referencedwith the manufacturers' official catalogs (AK Interactive, GSI Creos, Tamiya). The «—» means there isnomatch in the range — not that we couldn't find it. The swatches (FED-STD-595C) are indicative; where a swatch is missing, we have no confirmed match. The Tamiya mixes are recipes, not official equivalents.
