For my next project I plan to do Tamiya's M-51 Isherman 1967.What would be the proper colors to use as a basecoat ? Tamiya recommends TS-46 Light Sand which only comes in a rattlecan.

I can use regular Tamiya,Modelmaster,or Lifecolor

thanks

I picked up a bottle of Lifecolor for a 1973 M48A4, UA 020, Israeli Sand Grey 1961-73. Not sure if it's accurate but it sounds like it should be a good start.
