I want to use Tamiya acrylics. But I'm not sure how to arrive at these three colors.

I'm thinking perhaps Deck Tan for the base, but what about that peachy color, and the blue/grey color?

The base colour is Revell 314 Beige (alt Humbrol 94 or 71, Gunze H71 or Vallejo model color 123 Dark Sand) and the two overlay colours are Revell 17 Africa Brown (there is no direct equivalent) and Revell 86 olive brown (Humbrol 26) 80% & 76 lt. grey 20% (there is no direct equivalent).

AK makes a set with the German colors from Afghanistan. Should be the right colrs.

Hi jordan,
I know you were asking about Tamiya, but is this of any use to you?
