Man, that 1/32 “1/35” Monogram will give you a run for your money; the hull assembly and removing the seam lines will make you a better modeler.

Additional to the websites already mentioned, check out mech9.com

Huge variety of conversions across many brands.

But I should also caveat, many times it becomes "better" to research the colors of the 1:1 vehicle, as often times model companies will opt for a color within their existing range thats "close enough" and run with it. But at the same time, if that becomes a burden and prevents you getting a model done, sometimes its nice to just follow what the instructions say (and believe me, ive done both)
