Rather than converting paints, doing a little reading on what the real schemes used is often a better idea. You can then match that to your favourite model paints without converting possibly very inaccurate colours to others :smiling3:

This is a good place to look — it says bombers were painted Dark Green, Dark Earth and Matt Black, and then gives recommended model paints for those. Or you could also buy a paint set specifically intended for WWII RAF bombers, which several paint manufacturers offer.
