Hi,
I've used Tamiya Buff in the past and been pretty happy with it, but my favourite LHS went under a while back and strictly carries testors paints. On occasion I'm able to visit a different shop which stocks vallejo.
Does anyone know of a comparable colour in the testors or vallejo lines? I'd rather not start ordering paints if possible since ordering 1 or 2 colours seems to evolve into order a model or two to go along with them.
Thanks for your time.

Vallejo has a Buff in their line as well. #976 Buff in the Model Color line.
