Tamiya JA Green, Earth; At a loss, for the light green/grey.

Thanks! Me too, I thought of Vallejo Lime Green (70.827), but it looks too flashy :-/


For the redish-brown I thought Vallejo Copper (70.999), but I fear it could be too glossy(?).

Thanks! Could Tamiya Grey green XF76 work too?

Yeah, you're right. Got no idea where I got redish from :-/

The Tamiya color looks right. I am just going with Humbrol being easier to brush paint.

Cool! My local hobby shop don't have a lot of Humbrol, that's why I asked.

I'll get these colours and will start painting soon. Again, thanks!
