Hi, I've got a aircraft model plane that comes with the painting instruction in it's manual, so there are a few manufacturers names and the names of the colors in the manual, and one of them is Vallejo, in this case the Vallejo paints are split into two categories Air and Model Color. My question is: the numbers that are written on the label of the Model Color, in this case the colors code is the one after the period? because there is a 70.915 for example and the 70. repeats on each label, so I guess that is the color range or something, and the color code are the three last numbers.

Please let me now, if you are kind if I'm right. Thanx.

P.S. I don't own yet the colors so I got to find out what that code is so I can order them.

You are correct, colour is 70 where as air is 71. And other's have different prefix. I asked vallejo for some info and they sent me a great catalogue of everything they do and loads of leaflets. I particularly liked the various colour sets they have. Pantherman
