Vallejo English Uniform equivalent in Tamiya

[jose luis lopez]

Hello everyone

Plese, can someone teach me about the Vallejo´s English Uniform equivalent mix using Tamiya´s colors?

Searching at Google I found a direct equivalence with Tamiya´s XF-52 flat earth ... but I can not belive it ...

Any help? Thanks in advance

Jose Luis

You may have to mix it up with something,..how about Khaki drab ?

What are you going to use it on by the way?

Don't know if you want to use Tamiya acrylics, or do you want to use Tamiya enamel paint.[is the Tamiya enamel paint still produced?]
I find it difficult to paint with the Tam.acrylics uniforms,because of there surface tention.
So I used there enamels paints.

Andy might be right,you should mix in another color.[more darker]

If you like to paint with enamels,give HUMBROL 29 a try,Francois Verlinden used to paint British uniforms with that stuff.

Hope this can help you.

Greetings,Ron.

Thanks for your replies

I´m going to paint some blankets and tarpaulins in that color. As they´re big, I want to paint them using my airbrush, just using the brush for the final touches.

Seems that Tamiya do not have the perfect match for this color, but Gunze Sangyo H-81 seems nice for this task. Thank you!
