F-16 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Because MM will be discontinued, I would like to know how close Mig/AMMO paint colors are to MM FS colors. I have heard that MM colors are as close to FS595 as your going to get. But what about Mig/AMMO colors? How are they compared to MM colors? This applies to both MM enamels and acrylics. Thanks for any help. Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ESzczesniak Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I don’t use MiG/Ammo much, but they seem decent for color accuracy. They don’t quite match MM which are well regarded, but certainly within general fading and wear and tear. Just stay away from Vallejo. Their color scientist (made that title up) is on drugs.

These paints are not really "precision matched" as stated on the website, as I have discovered. Both Ghost Grays are way off. Not sure what color chips they were trying to match to.

Your example just goes to show he is actually right. He didnt claim they were 100% spot on, meerly that they are better than others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Perhaps better than two or three others, but there are eight or nine others that have a better match. The OP was asking about Mig/AMMO colors, so I posted a picture to answer his question instead of waving my hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 No. What you said was, well actually Model Master colours aint all that great. Then went on to show they are a better match than MiG colours are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It may not be perfect in all cases, but no other brand has been near as close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
