Hello all,
I'll keep my question for all you experts short. I'm looking for an equivalent in the Tamiya XF range for my Vallejo Midouri Green # 134.
I've tried using Tamiya XF-13 Japanese Army Green but it seems to be not as "vibrant" and I simply cannot get the mixture right. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here is a link reference to aircraft, but the paint specs should be similar. http://www.aviationofjapan.com/2013/11/ijaaf-paint-colour-standard-21.html
I used Tamiya olive green and it seemed to work out ok with the other colors.

Thanks for that, if you ever pick up a vallejo Midouri green you'll see what I mean. It's "vibrant" for lack of better term. Better for jungles I bet. Anywho I think Tamiya just doesnt do an equiv.
