Hey guys

Been working on a Jackal 2 lately and I am getting to the point where I need to look at painting and I was wondering if anyone has come up with a mixture that is a close match to the yellow that these vehicles are painted.

I have some bottles of Testors British Armoured Sand Yellow, but it seems too dark and brown for what I am looking for.

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks

Something I read a while back regarding the yellow for British vehicles in Op Telic, which may still be current, is:

5ml XF-3
5ml XF-57
2ml XF-1

Haven't had a chance to try it myself.
