When airbrushing be certain to use any of the following Tamiya thinners: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077. Deep Bronze Green is mixed by 8pts XF5 + 5pts XF62 = Old dark colour. You need a satin varnish over this for the depth of colour. Used in India and Burma on British and Commonwealth vehicles from about late 1942 - 1945 so your Chinese & Indian Sherman Vs and M3 Lees can be real dull now, as can many softskins too. It would have helped. Mix 2 pts XF51 + 1 pt XF61 + 1 pt XF3. Not bad, imho. Certainly much closer than the others. The XF61 is much darker than the XF81, but still has a yellow-green (ie: "olive") cast to it, so it darkens the mixture enough without drastically altering the hue or chroma.

As a follow-up to the discussion threas Modeldad started earlier today regarding Tamiya's XF-81 RAF Dark Green 2, here are some comparisons I made using recently painted-out color swatches. The swatches were visually compared - very unscientifically, mind - to the Dark Green reference swatch in my copy of British Aviation Colours of World War Two. All comparisons and photos were taken indoors under "full-spectrum" incandescent bulbs, and the pics were shot with my iPad. So this is all very ad hoc, and no comparisons were made properly using daylight or a colorimiter. So with that gain of salt taken, here we are. Mix: 1prt XF24 + 1 prt XF4. This is a fraction dark compared to the standard but a touch of white or light grey will tone it down. Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can be used as a flattening agent on Tamiya Gloss bottle paints. Simply add any X-gloss color then add flat base.

Since 1978

I found this on HMS Cornwall for anyone that might have the Kit, and who might be interested in painting her in an unusual colour, I found the attachment below, they have Cornwall in her launch/trial colour and then further colours, which I'm now considering Just what the new Bronco kit owners need. Khaki Green 3 was the new basic colour from mid-1939 till phased out in 1941. But also may be used as an alternative colour in lieu of Slate 34 in the Caunter scheme. Mix: - 3 pts XF62 + 2 pts XF59.

These colours were the basic and disruptive colours respectively used from 1941 in UK and on vehicles in Tunisia, Sicily and Italy till end of the war in many cases. SCC1A was also used over SCC 15 in 1944-45. This was the colour specified in MTP 20 for use in scheme 1 for 'average European conditions'. This colour is matched to the colour that I use over Khaki Green 3 and which is based on the use of complimentary hues and low contrast values seen on numerous contemporary photographs and what few colour photographs exist for 1940 period vehicles. For better paint brushing results use Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) for a smoother brushstroke free finish. You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways:pts XF2 + 1 pt XF3 + 1 pt XF57. It could stand a fraction more XF2 and perhaps a fraction less XF57 but if I tweaked it then the proportions of the other colours would be really silly.
