Hello,
I usually work with the following refs in the Tamiya range :
XF5 Flat green, XF64 Red brown and XF1 Black. The Tamiya NATO shades are not suitable for the French camo.

Oliver , hi!
Thank you! You made a great job on Leclerk tweak list. I use it building my model.
I think that wil be nice, if you add paint advice in it.
One more question: you use colours "out of the bottle" or mix them?

I'm glad to see the tweak list is helping. I'll consider adding some painting advices, thanks for the suggestion.
To come back to your question, I use the paints straight from the jar. But depending on how worn out you want to depict your model you may add some lighter colors.
