Tamiya paint mix

[SA Dave]

Hey guys I need a color mix for the modern Bronze Green that US now uses on the Striker Preferably using Tamiya acrilics

The Humbrol 75 looks very dark compared to the striker pictures I have seen.

Will nato green work? Xf-67. I'm pretty sure that should be right.

As usual, opinion is widely varied. Some say Tamiya NATO Green is a perfect match, some have lightened it with a little Desert Yellow or Buff and some have mixed in a little Field Grey to lighten it. A few have gone the other way and mixed a little NATO Green into the Field Grey.

Clear as mud. :laugh:

The specified colour is CARC 383 FS34094.

Cheers,
Rich
