No longer supported?

I think it’s dead, Jim. No updates in eight years. Seems to have never had the ANA colors added.

Missing a lot of common SKUs

Would be practical if they had Vallejo XPress Colors and other mainstream paint companies like Monument Hobbies and Green Stuff World. For the price I paid this is very disappointing

Nice app BUT

I used to be able to pick a colour from a reference pictures from my old Apple phone’s photo gallery, but now I can’t, with my new Apple phone can someone help me me.

Très pratique

J’adore votre application qui est complet, mais qui serait encore plus pratique avec un ou deux tutoriels! Bravo

Is this still being updated?

As above - quite a lot of money to spend if it is not going to be actively updated?

Пожалуйста добавьте в приложение краски от ARM.PNT и Arma Colors.

Will this app ever be updated?

I’ve loved this app since I tried the Lite version years ago. I quickly upgraded to the Full version and used it regularly to find color equivalents across brands or for FS or RLM colors. Alas, while it still seems to function on iPad Mini, it lacks full functionality on iPhone. E.g, it no longer displays color equivalents for a given reference. Also, the paint databases don’t seem to be updated any longer: Mr. Color fluorescents don’t appear on the list, for example. I miss full functionality as this was my go-to paint matching/mixing app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your report! The current release should display equivalences as expected. Your issue is probably due to a filter that is applied on the equivalence list. You can contact us at info@id6.ch so that we can help you resolve your issues. The paint databases will be updated and new ones will be added by the end of January 2023. We will also post a brand new release of the App (Full rewrite) during the year. Now that Apple new development tools have (at last) reached a correct level of stability and performance (while abandoning maintenance of older tools). This is the reason why we have been a bit caught in the middle. So stay tuned.

Es fehlen Farben

Leider fehlen von verschiedenen Hersteller, wie Hataka (alle Farbserien)und AK-Interactive (Real Color Serie), die Farben.
Auch mehr Sprachen würde ich mir noch wünschen.

Invaluable tool for painting kits

I use this exclusively for mixing paints - it can match every popular paint manufacturer out there and advise you as to the ratios to get that color right. Having painted a wide array of jets of various nationalities - it saves me a ton of time and aggravation - a must have. The developer is also very helpful in case you run into some difficulties.

Updates would be nice

I'm changing my rating because I obviously didn't get the support thing right. I have now figured out some things and adjusted the app. It works better now, hope for the new promised version.

Fantastic

It’s great and worth every dollar. Although I noticed it hasn’t been updated in 4years so maybe there isn’t more updates coming anymore but it would be great if you could add the createx Kline of paints.

Response from developer

Thank you for your great review ! We are working on a brand new release of iModelKit, so don't worry, we are still there ;). Also, we use to update and add new charts regularly (about every 6 to 8 month). These updates and new charts are available via our website at http://www.id6.ch (go to the iModelKit faqs to learn more). We plan to add the Createx brand in a few month.

Misleading Name

This AP does nothing for kit inventory management. It’s not very user friendly either. In order to manage paint, you have to buy an additional module. Don’t bother!

Looks great but having problem

I bought the full version of the app thinking there was finally a great way to inventory my paints so I could order missing colors. I need the catalog for Real Color. I have gone through every step over and over including getting a successful update but either I get a frame error, the system locks up or nothing loads. Very frustrated. I am using iOS 14.4.

Response from developer

We are sorry you encountered issues with our App. This is impossible to give you proper support using the Review as it has a very long delay for answering/replying. So please contact us at info@id6.ch so that we can help you the best we can. The frame load Error is due to Apple preventing direct downloads from their Web browser for security reasons. The procedure indicates to use the "List" button that appears when the page has been fully loaded. This way you will be able to download the Real Colour charts. On iOS 14, you have to swipe up the sharing box to see the list on its whole and scroll. This is a backward compatibility bug from Apple.

Not as good as it could be

When I first downloaded this app it worked really well, however time gone on and it’s become difficult to use.

Brauchbar aber eingeschränkt

Im Großen und Ganzen eine brauchbare App. Leider fehlt eine Exportfunktion, um zB den Bestand als CSV ausgeben zu können oder aber vom iPad aufs iPhone zu übertragen. Auch gibt es keine iPad-Ansicht, nur dieses schon seit Jahren schlecht aussehende und Platz verschwendende iPhone-Ansicht auf dem iPad.
Gut ist die Funktionalität im Bereich Farben, das Einlesen von Barcodes ist Glückssache, selbst bei zB Tamiya.

Very useful

I am always trying to find color matches. This makes it easy. Thanks

Great app but needs a update

Love this app, would like to see Vallejo Mecha colors added to the list!

Response from developer

We are also working on a brand new release with a better way to detect and download new charts.

Still the best color chart and color-mix app for scale modelers

unfortunately there has been no more updates since 3 years... new paints like ak real colors are not listed. I’m looking forward for the release of the brand new version !

Need update with mission model paint

We need mission model paint catalog in here ! It’s been 4 year since last update ! Thanks

Back into it

Got back into plastic modeling as I approached retirement. Boy how it has changed (for the better). The detail that is now available compared to 50 years ago is amazing. That is where this app really helps. The color and paint mixing is invaluable if your picky about color matching like I am. The description doesn’t give the app justice. You pick what color you want and then add what colors you have and it helps you figure the mix as close as it can get. Will add more as I use this app and learn more about it. 5 stars for now. Well worth the investment. I also added the inventory add. Not sure about it yet.
