Has anyone got this kit? I've ordered one and am looking for the colors references from the notice (I haven't find it...) fot MrHobby or Tamiya range.
Thanks.

Hi Raphael,
I think that MIG or AMMO of MIG released a set of German desert colors.

will help youin getting the right tones from Tamiya or Mr. Hobby range. I poersonally would go for XF-57 Buff and XF-67 NATO Green.

Although I am sure Tamiya has colors in their range that match German desert camo colors, I have found Vallejo's Model Air Umtarnfarben set to be the best for painting modern German vehicles. You could also look at the Tamiya conversion of the colors included in the set by using the ultimate model paint conversion chart.
