I've got two different mixing guides for the primary colors (Lt Stone, Silver Grey, Slate) for the Caunter scheme, but all are in Humbrol paints.

I've got he Hunbrol -> Tamiya conversion guide (as well as others) and there are some Humbrols have no Tamiya equivalent.

Anybody got a decent Tamiya acrylic mix for these colors (Lt Stone, Silver Grey, Slate) ??? Or even just some decent hints, I'm just not Mr Color Whiz when it comes to this.

Thanks in advance,
John
