Hummm. I have an M51 I want to build in the sand color from the 67 war and a Centurion I want in the green gray color from the 73 war. Which colors should I use for each? I like acrylics.

I still have some confusion. The chart showed Life color used the same paint for both 67' and 73' while Tamiya and Humbrol used different mixes. Were they the same or different?
