Just curious as to what would be the best match for the sand colored Canadian vehicles(RG-31, Buffalo, etc) in Afghanistan? Is the color the same as the US Sand color?

To me the Vallejo US Desert Sand looks too Brown.


Maybe the Ammo Sand Yellow?

The closest colour match is XF-78 Wooden Deck Tan, which I compared to an actual vehicle and paint sample.

Great, thanks Anthony. I am going to get my RG-31 started soon. BTW, what color would the interior be?

The interior is a battle ship grey colour, around windows, turret hatches tan colour, floor if with fitted ballistic blankets OD green.

I can send you some photos that show this scheme for you.
