Does anyone have a good recipe for mixing sea foam green from tamya acrylic paints?

Many thanks in advance

Tamiya sky XF 21 is a close match to sea foam green !

Jaymes,

Thanks for this. You could be right but I thought it had a bit more green in it and was a little less blue than XF21. I hate mixing colours by eye. Thanks for the advice though

I'll second that, straight out of the bottle it is fine.

I use the XF-71 Cockpit Green with a touch of the XF-21....I know Gino....that is light....but if you are going to weather the inside it will darken. Also since it is inside, I like to keep it a bit lighter to make it show better.

Either way is fine.

Rounds Complete!!

I also have always used XF21.
There also is a new one that is very slightly darker..Can't recall its XF#,but it is grey green.

Many thanks guys

Now all I have to do is wait for the paints to arrive

Should give the primer time to cure

Cheers
