Hi,
would you be so kind and give me some advice on which acrylic color or mix of colors should I use to get the best match for modern desert vehicle camouflage?

I really like to work with Tamyia acrylic colors, but any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Jiri
When i did my AML i used Humbrol 94 paint (sand) and Tamiya's XF10+ black (brown) which matched perfectly the pics i had in Raids magazines.
Judging for the vehicles i saw in real, the sand looks darker and a bit orange like the VLRA pics you shows in your build thread.

I thinks you could try a mix between Tamiya's flesh colour XF15 and desert sand XF59, if too dark for scale effect, add a bit white.

ps: it's nice to see french modern vehicles models!
