Folks
I'm soon going to be making a start on the Tiger Models Nagmachon. Tonight I've been perusing the instructions and am a bit confused. The paint callout for the main hull is given in one part as what looks like Tamiya XF49 khaki, then AK790 then further down as a mix of XF65, XF49 and XF57. In fact the whole paint list is first called out in what looks like Tamiya then they recommend using AK interactive. I was looking at using Lifecolor UA902.
Can anyone please clarify this for me?

TIA
Pete

1 part XF-49 + 2 parts XF-20 works pretty well for me (you can see my Nagmachon), or you can go with 1 part of XF-57 to 1 part of XF-20. Humbrol 83 (or perhaps 84...?) is also a good choice. I have seen hundreds of IDF vehicles of all kinds and believe me, they all look different in different light conditions. If it looks OK to you, then it's OK...

Regards,
Israel
