I am posting pics of my in progress Leopard 2A6. I have laid down the camoflage. My concern is the brown. I am not 100% sold on it. It is painted with Tamiya paints. I did not use the Tamiya NATO Brown as I have used it before and felt comes out to Orange. I made this mix using Brown and Flat Earth. My trial mix turned out ok, but I did it again and sprayed this is what I got. My queston to the viewer is, do you think this is ok and live with it or should I try again? IF I try again, what mix would you suggest. I am limited to what I have at home right now which is Tamiya and Vallejo, and the Vallejo was clogging my airbrush substantially last night. Here are the pics. sorry for the size of the pics, but you can click them to see a larger version:

It looks a tad pink to me. Can't help with the mix though as it's been a while since I painted a 3 color NATO camo. Your bad experience is with the NATO brown acrylic?

I agree with Paul. I would have stuck with the Tamiya NATO brown.
