I currently use MM, Testors, Tamiya, and Floquil paints. I'm looking for suggestions on the correct paint for the North African Campaign yellow on German vehicles. I would like to invest in AK Interactive and Vallejo paints. Also looking for suggestions on those paints' correct colors for camouflage used in the North African Theater.

Thanks guys. The links were very helpful. I am trying to branch out from MM and Tamiya paints. Both are difficult for me to get hold of. My lhs rarely restocks its paints.

Matt,If you don't mind buying online,Scalehobbyst,Squadron,and Spruebrothers all have a good stock.Which you most likely know.
My closest LHS is an hour and a half away,so I do all of my stuff on-line.I've been happy with all three.Jeff T.
