Hey everyone,

I'm wondering which tamiya colour best matches a British late war uniform.
Thanks

Hi Q,

Sorry missed your post.

If you are building Canadian Troops then XF 49 is reasonably close to the Canadian Uniform Colour.

If you are building British Troops them I recommend you use Vallejo English Uniform.

Hi Q,
Last night I found that by mixing some Vallejo English Uniform with a touch of Choclate Browm I got a nice result for a battle dress tunic for the highlights I mixed in some Baige.

I will try to post a picture so you can see for yourself.

Best wishes,

Jerry

Thats very helpful thanks! So tamiya colours tend not to work with brit figures?
