Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-1 Flat Black

Product Information

What matters most to me with paint is performance, first and foremost in the airbrush. I don't shop around for paint - I buy it where I find it. Keep in mind that this is a very improvised comparison, but all comments and criticism are welcome. In the 1980's, U.S. military developed new general-purpose vehicles which were intended to be used for a wide variety of military duties. Depending on the body type and fitted equipment, it could perform a wide range of roles. Of those different variants, the armament carrier type was one of the most numerous. Fitted with powerful armament such as an Mk.19 grenade launcher and M60 machine gun on a ring mount, they are used to guard units and important facilities in difficult conditions including the 1991 Gulf War, being vital for U.S. military activities. The kit features detailed suspension and realistic rubber tires. ?Included are a driver and gunner figures as well as 4 kinds of markings to depict a vehicle seen during the Gulf War. This is the official colour used as one of the disrupters with Slate in the 'Caunter' scheme. In use on all types of AFVs and other vehicles in Egypt from mid to late 1940 till cancelled in December 1941. Mix: 7pts XF21 + 1pt XF19 +1pt XF4. Be careful with XF4 as even a little too much will throw this colour far too green. Err on the light side.

When it comes to Jamie, even me, as a fairly newish member, know about Jamie being so helpful, as he already has been to me on another couple of Models First off, here's a comparison of RAF Dark Green versus GSI's Mr. Color 309, Green FS34079, since 34079 is often mentioned as a close approximation. Bear in mind that Mr. Color 309 dries to a semi-gloss sheen, versus the dead flat reference chip, making it appear a bit darker. Mix: 5pts XF2 + 5pts XF15 + 1 pt XF52. Be careful with XF52 as too much will turn your resulting colour too mauve. Desert Pink needs of a definite pale pink appearance. The mix may benefit from a touch more white.This cookie, set by YouTube, registers a unique ID to store data on what videos from YouTube the user has seen.

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons: I just realized I have a bottle of GSI's Mr Color 361 RAF Dark Green (WW2) number from their RAF Color Set 2. I'll add a swatch of that one tomorrow when I have some time. I also have some related Humbrol enamel swatches I can throw in as well (and no, Humbrol 30 Dark Green is not close at all. Oddly, it still looks good when used on early-war RAF fighters though. But maybe it's just me).

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.

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.

This mix is between my book sample and SCC 5, the best that I could manage easily but since it was a theatre colour then there must have been some variations.

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. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. 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. The paint can be also thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner. Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will yield faster drying results and a harder finish. Again, allowing for the sheen it's not a terrible match. Actually, viewed with the eye it's much closer in hue and chroma than it appears here.

The Indian Ocean scheme is generally correct, and names the correct paints but due to the legacy of people confusing paint recipes with paint colours and assuming 507A and 507B were different colours (they were most certainly not!), the depiction on the Indian Ocean scheme of the darker grey is a very dark.
