I have just about every formula for mixing Tamiya acrylic to replicate British desert colors, Commonwealth camo, etc etc etc.

Has any one experiemented and come up with a mix for RAL Tropen colors? I'm specifically interested in RAL 8000 and 7008, and RAL 8020 and 7027.

I'm thinking XF 51 and XF 52 for a start on 8000/7008.

Comments?

Thanks

It helps when it comes to Dunklegelb, but is absolutely meaningless for Tropen colors.

Thanks anyway.
