Any recommendations for M1A2 2003+ using Tamiya acrylics? I'm looking for light, washed out and faded. Any mixing suggestions?

I use desert sand and white

Hi Paul, any pics or ratio suggestions??

I remember spending a lot of time and colour finding a good mixture. The result which turned out best in my opinion was:

10x XF 55 (Deck Tan)
4 x XF 57 (Buff)
3 x XF 2 (Flat White)
1 x XF 52 (Flat Earth)

I haven't tried any weathering on the tone yet but it should be suitable for the common techniques but have a look yourself:

This is one version I did with a base of desert sand and over sprayed with desert sand and white then weathered.


And this was a more upto date one mixing desert sand and white direct before further lightening.

Four parts white, one part buff, one part desert yellow results in a dead match
