Anyone know of what equivalent would be P3 Thornwood Green and Menoth White in Vallejo Model Air? Thornwood Green is a very brown color with a slight green hue to it. Menoth White looks sort of like Bleached Bone in the GW line. I can't find any conversion charts that work.

I had a look and Olive drab and Yellow lazure look like equivalents.

P3 colors generally don't have matches with other paint lines, which is one of their big advantages in my opinion.

If you need the VMA colors for airbrushing, don't bother. The P3 paints work just fine in an airbrush; a 1:1 mix with your chosen thinner and you should be good to go.

I am to believe she wants to use model air since the droppers mean she down get paint on the side of the put when you pour it in.

That is easy to fix... just don't pour the paint in the airbrush cup. Buy medicine/eye droppers from the drug store or an online retailer and use those. Failing that, just use a paint brush and just dab it it; that is how I do it if I only need a tiny bit of paint. There really is no reason to go out and buy all new paint when what you have works perfectly well, especially with unique colors like P3.

Eye droppers are usually pretty cheap; I bought a tub of 100 plastic ones on Amazon for $10.
