The pot lids look about right. Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Dark Yellow 2 XF-88 – C533 Log in for wholesale price When I go with Tamiya Field Grey TS-78 and Vallejo Gunship Green 70.895 (which seem to be in good balance) I can not use TS-78 for the helmet as well. So I would use my custom mix (Vallejo German Uniform 70.920, Vallejo Gunship Green 70.895 and Vallejo White 70.951). But I think that that it would be too bright in comparison to the Tamiya Field Grey. When I don't mix the colors and use Vallejo German Uniform 70.920 only it looks almost as dark as the Armor and it doesn't look green at all but more like dark grey. So that's the reason why I brightened it up. Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Flat Earth XF-52 – C565 Log in for wholesale price

Still working on exactly what I want to do with my MLRS. I think I'll go with the camo pattern as depicted in this photo. Various factors are involved here, on the tin it says " Paint Green NATO IRR Brushing or Spraying " and it's an Olive green. The other shades provide useful altenatives for different vehicles and I'll use to represent differential wear and fading etc. It's just useful to have a colour reference and being as lazy as I am _ I prefr using the Vallejo or Mig Ammo dropper bottles.

I think my problem with Tamiya paints is that, like old Hunbrol and Airfix paints, they are actually fairly generic rather than specific matches.

So a can of 8000 today is the same as a can of 8000 in 1942. However, some of the names have changed - which can be very misleading. 8000 was GelbBraun but is now GrunBraun. 7008 was GrauGrun but is now KhakiGrau. 8020 has remained Braun and 7027 has remained Grau.
