Read in a magazine today that the mig colours may not be all that accurate and the author used tamiya XF 61 Dark Green XF 55 Deck Tan & XF 52 Flat Earth. I’ve checked out a few photos and I reckon that XF 61 Dark Green & XF 52 Flat Earth are good matches but I would personally do start with a 50/50 mix of XF 55 Deck Tan & XF 60 Dark Yellow and add or subtract either colour until I got what I felt was right.
